"Expectation is the bridge to disappointment."

Tuesday, April 3, 2012

My dean said that quote above in the beginning of the first semester, and I believe you can find this quote amongst the quotes in A Supplement to My Favorite Quotes.

Man, I just don't know about this quote. It's right, but it's kind of wrong, too. I really like this quote, though. I say this all the time now as an excuse or a reason to not have expectations of certain things.

Operating under this quote can keep you safe, but at the same time, it's dangerous. Right?

Think about it.

If you don't expect anything from a situation, you won't be disappointed. But what happens when you're okay with people treating you badly because you didn't expect them to treat you well? Even worse, what happens when you're satisfied with failure because you didn't expect success?

I think we should have some sort of standard or expectation for ourselves or when it comes to things that will affect us.

It's tricky, I guess...and I guess I have nothing else to say at this point.

But, thankfully, this is a "Think on This" post, so I'd like you think about it, and comment below to let me know what you think about this quote.

"Expectation in the bridge to disappointment."

Thanks for stopping by! See you again soon. =)
