Expectations

Expectations make the world go round.

It is something very important, yet many of us dont seem to know tt.

Actually, expectations is everywhere.

In terms of economics, the economy will only be in equilibrium if expectations are met.

We have certain forecasts for the interest rates, the economic growth rate, forex etc.

If the actual growth rate or watsoever falls short of expectations,

The world seems upside down.

Ok, probably not all of you are into economics.

Let's just talk abt something tt all of us can relate to.

All of us silly undergrads face exam stress right?

Why?

Because we, or our parents, set certain expectations for us.

Some jus needa pass, some needa get an A.

It matters not whether I do better than you or you do better than me.

It matters whether you meet or exceed your expectations.

See?

At another level, we also have expectations of the people around us.

I expect my friends to be friendly with me go to lectures w me etc etc.

And many of u girls out there also expect ur bfs to be nice and sweet.

When none of these happens, we all get upset.

See the wonders and horror of expectations?

Lower ur expectations if you wanna be a happy person.

The world will seem right side up again.
