What Do You Expect? Of Yourself?

High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation. – Jack Kinder

So many people have low expectations.

It’s “safer” that way.

If you don’t want much, you can avoid “failure.”

The thing is there’s no such thing as failure, just results.

Sometimes the results are not what we desired and/or anticipated.

That’s okay if you build a desire for learning into every goal.

Make everything you strive for an experiment, a way to learn more about yourself and the World.

Or, you can continue to expect less, and get it.
