Does having expectations help? I mean really how beneficial are they? Does it promote progress in life or its the easiest technique to a nervous break down? I dont understand that why do we have to expect whenever we do something? I mean I know that this is a rational human behaviour but cant we give it a break for once. I feel that expectations over-shadow sometimes what we have in life. It would be so much simpler if we did what we had to do unconditionally. Not expecting anything at all. Then whatever we get in return for our work done will be an absolute BONUS. A bountiful perk. Like a surprise inheritance. A profit.
I mean things are going way over the boundry line. For instance, I was genuinely appreciating a gesture made by one of our clients for posting condolences in the newspaper on the death of Pope John Paul II. And he tells me that is one reason & the second reason is that they expect it to become like an advertisement stunt for them. The name comes in the paper & blah blah blah. What is this?? Then when things dont work out as per planned, the thinking process starts where each & every single wee little detail is analysed trying to search for one possible explanation for the contretemps.
Why do we make ourselves go through all this? "WE" do it to ourselves. Self-inflicted pain/trouble or whatever. Can we bypass it??

call it an extremity or whatever, but there is a whole chunk of people who couldn't be inspired to work unless with the expectation of something they see.... they are also a kind of people, and for them their passion is in expecting way beyond their capabilities from themselves. its like setting higher and higher goals to keep grwoing. ofcourse i am putting it forth in all extremity, but sometimes it can be positive!
Yea can these kind of people be also called "optimists"??
