Expectations

“High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.”
Charles F. Kettering

Expectation. The biggest “E” after earth. Probably larger than it. Everybody is just dying to meet other people’s expectations; as if they’d literally drop dead if they could not.

There is always an expectation to live up to. People make their expectation on us (and we make ours on theirs), primarily on age and social status. You probably have been hit by a chalk when you could not recite the whole multiplication table to your 3rd grade teacher.

When I was in college, you are always expected to act “decent”: you should not eat while walking; girls cannot comb their hair in public; you cannot go to the motel if you are still wearing the school uniform.

I’m not encouraging those things, especially the last one, but those expectations are plain hypocrisy. It’s just a bunch of crap that old people, called the faculty, pass on to students, so they can finally have their revenge on society.

If somebody tells you that you are not behaving as you are expected to do, raise your middle finger and say: I expect you to shut up because you are a moron.
People who believe in expectations are fixated losers. Every human being is supposed to be rational, and as a part of that exclusively human agenda, we are all expected to use our brain.

Expecting someone to be like everybody else in a group is called moronic thinking. It’s thinking, but moronic nonetheless. Not exactly the best way to use one’s head. The best that you can do is stop pressuring other people because of your expectations.

I’m sorry Charlie, but I’m just glad that you’re dead now.
