“I INTEND TO LIVE FOREVER - SO FAR, SO GOOD..”

It’s what drives economies. It’s what drives people to do what they do. It’s like living at the edge, and finally being shoved over the edge to soar like an eagle. It’s something intangible but it leads to the tangibles. All great men had it and never lost grasp of it. The reasonable man puts it off. The unreasonable man lives by it. Therefore all progress rely on the unreasonable man.

Expectations. High Expectations.

I mean if you want to do something, why be ordinary. Where would be the challenge in that? We wouldn’t achieve anything worthwhile if we only did easy. Besides, life is short. Before you know it, it’ll be over. What most people don’t seem to understand is that expectations is like the fuel that starts and keeps our engines going. If you had low expectations, you’ll have low self-esteem. If you have low self-esteem, you’ll do less things to achieve your potential and live a pretty much dull boring life. Winners need it.

Let’s look at an example. Everyone’s talking about it now. The iphone. What on earth can this wonderful piece of gadget do? Pretty much everything except save the world. =P

“What are your expectations that’ll help you move the ceilings in your life?”

“High expectations are the key to everything.” - Sam Walton

Recommended Books: “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” by Adam Khoo (read the chapter on the qualities that self-made millionaires possess). A why and how book that may help you look at the stars and get out of the gutter.
