Managing Expectations

Expectations tend to be based on general behaviors or patterns of people, events, or things. Expectations can sometimes be based on certain contents which are to equate to a specific product. Similar to a cake recipe, don’t’ expect cake without all of the ingredients; especially if the main ingredient of flour is missing.

When you know the behaviors of the subject, expect more of the same behavior.

Or, in other words, don’t expect a chicken to act like an eagle or an apple tree to grow oranges.
