Expectation - It brings about striving spirit and ensures improvement

With anticipation and expectation, we'll naturally find some ways to meet our expectation. No one will naturally be satisfied that they are wrong in predicting something. Whenever you realise that you might have been wrong in some way, you will not let it be but try finding out till the exact truth. Whereas if you have predicted correctly, you won't naturally have any incentive to find out things from the perspective that you are wrong. Seems pretty confusing at this moment. Let's bring in an example. Let's say today you are going for a class gathering, the previous time you had that, you found it really boring and a waste of time. You'd probably expect this time to be equally bad. When the gathering ends, you'd probably start thinking you're right that it was indeed boring and do nothing about it. Whereas if you had come to the gathering expecting lots of fun and a great time to catch up, yet at the end of the day you found it boring, you'd probably start evaluating why it went this way. Basically, without expectation actually forms a vicious cycle. You don't expect good things to happen, it does not happen and its okay. The next time you don't expect again and again it doesn't happen and it goes on.... However, if you were to break from this vicious cycle and start expecting good things to happen it will most probably go like this. You expect, maybe it didn't turn out as good as expected, you evaluate why. The next time, you expect again and you prevent what you evaluated is the cause of below expectation. For sure this will lead to improvement!
