Before we explore these ten stupendous quotes I got from the
net, let me ask you guys… When is the last time you guys experienced
disappointment, having high expectations on anybody? Can anyone of you
describe those feelings? Should we blame the specific person or should be blame
ourselves? Sometimes we just got stuck between dreams and reality…
Anyway let’s get
started
- “Everyone
knew that if you divided reality by expectation, you got a happiness quotient.
But when you invert the equation - expectation divided by reality - you didn't
get the opposite of happiness. What you got, was hope.” by Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes
- “If you expect nothing from anybody, you’re
never disappointed.” by Sylvia Plath, the Bell Jar
- “Expectations were like fine pottery. The harder
you held them, the more likely they were to crack.” by Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings
- “If you
spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you
forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to
be a mask... with nothing beneath it?” by Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes
- “You are most powerful when you are most silent.
People never expect silence. They expect words, motion, defence, offense, back
and forth. They expect to leap into the fray. They are ready, fists up, words
hanging leaping from their mouths. Silence? No.” by Alison McGhee, All Rivers Flow To The Sea
- “When you
stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” by Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand
Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life
- “If
you're going to say what you want to say, you're going to hear what you don't
want to hear.” by Roberto Bolaño, The Insufferable Gaucho
- “You can't expect everyone to have the same
dedication as you.” by Jeff Kinney, Diary of a Wimpy Kid
- “You are your own worst enemy. If you can learn
to stop expecting impossible perfection, in yourself and others, you may find
the happiness that has always eluded you.” by Lisa Kleypas, Love in the Afternoon
- “See the world as it is, not as it should be.” by Finn Hudson, Glee
In my opinion, expecting too much may lead to overthinking…
I bet most of you guys know what overthinking may lead to…
