Hi Love, actually that will depend on our effort.
If you have worked hard for examination, then you expect to pass the examination.
That is a very natural thing to do.
if we do not work hard, and yet expect everything in life, then that is unreasonable.
I think the problem with many people is that they expect to earn a very high salary for doing nothing much.
That is the wrong expectation, and causes so many problems in the world.
If everyone works hard, then they can expect a reward that is in line with their effort.

Expectation...do our expectations really create a problem in our life?...really?...I don't know about you dude! but my expectations had to meet with my commitment to do what I had to do! and I did expect a lot[still do] I Am not a person that give up easily/ never was/never will. If you don't expect any thing...well I guess you will never have any thing!

Well...lovedude like I say before I expect the best! if I was only to expect mediocracy then that is what I would get...I understand we are bound to be disappointed some times...and I put up with that! I have learnt to accept the individual for what they are some times you can't expect more than they can give.

I agree, Because I am a very expecting person. hahahah. I always expect things to happen and occur especially with people. I always expect something from them like with my husband and when my expectations doesn't happen the way I would have want them to happen, I feel very sad and sometimes I even cry. Even though I know that things are not always what I wanted it to be and even if I know that my husband didn't really know what I expect of him. hahahah. I just let him guess, I think. And I know it's not really fair for him.

Yes, life is all about expectations and without expectations, it's going to be boring. While it's good to have expectations but do not set it too high. Expectations are only a way of motivation or a guideline to judge certain things. It should not be used as a measure for everything in life. Expectations doesn't just creates problems in life, but also solutions if we know how and when to expect at the right level.

You are absolutely right my friend expectation can create only problems and sadness. If we will expect anything from our friends or family members and not fulfill then we are not feeling well feel upset therefore I not expect anything from anyone.

There are just going to be many times where my expectations are going to be something that are going to really get me into more trouble than it is really worth. There are just many times when I am really going to expect something. Perhaps I am going to really expect way too much. There are instances where it does say something about really setting my expectations low and being pleased when they exceed.
What will happen, will happen. I think that there are going to be many times where expectations are going to really be something that really does lead us down a road that is inevitable towards disappointment. There are just times where I take a deep breath and just pull myself up after my expectations have been mostly shattered. It is just one of those things where in the end, I should really stop expecting too much.

There's nothing to expect for, when you are not doing anything about what you are expecting. But if you are indeed doing all your best for a good outcome of what you are expecting, then it is just but natural to expect.
God helps those who help themselves. That summarizes it, my friend.

Sometimes, its good to have an expectation so you will double your effort to work for your goal. It is in a way gives you a sense of direction. The problem comes when you are not doing anything as expected or if you've expected too much beyond of what you can do.
