An expectation is a future object recognised as belonging to me.

Future orientation is combined with a notion and expectation of progress and nothing is impossible.

I have great expectations for the future because the past was highly overrated.

I think that we could be more careful about what we're saying to young women in terms of their expectations. It's unrealistic to expect people to always be in designer clothes. Girls growing up deserve more freedom in how they look and how they feel about how they look.

I don't have anything to prove anymore. I don't have a record deal no one has any expectations I'm in a position of freedom. I don't need anyone's approval.

To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end and God is the end.

I don't have any expectations as an actor and being rich and famous is not my driving force.

Thus after finishing high school I started with high expectations and enthusiasm to study chemistry at the famous Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

Faith is an act of rational choice which determines us to act as if certain things were true and in the confident expectation that they will prove to be true.

So I try not to have any actual expectations for myself for any level of success or failure.

There's something to be said for failing. It's not the failure you feel it's the failure that people project when something disappoints. You're back to ground zero where there's no expectations and that's where I like to be.

If you have a level of expectation in your life that you have to be a quote-unquote star whatever that means you might be setting yourself up for failure.

I have a lack of fear whereas in the past the fear of failure was a powerful motivator. Anyway I have great expectations for the future but I just don't know if I'm the monarch of all I survey.

The position that I take partly as a result of living in Asia is where you stop living according to your expectations and you become available to experience things as they are.

Both expectations and memories are more than mere images founded on previous experience.

I had no expectations about fatherhood really but it's definitely a journey I'm glad to be taking. Number one it's a great learning experience. When my mother told me it's a 24/7 job she wasn't kidding.

Let us be about setting high standards for life love creativity and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.
