MTE: Manage The Expectations.

MTE: Manage The Expectations. 

Desire is the mother of all expectations. As a human being it is natural

to have expectations from family, friends and colleagues. It is also

obvious that other people will have expectations from us. Elimination of

expectation is more difficult; hence one needs to learn how to manage expectations. At work place, growth is not possible in absence of

expectations. Here relationship is more based on give and take. If you are boss, expect as much as possible keeping in consideration the abilities of subordinates. If there is a gap in your expectation and achievement then either raise the skill level or reduce your expectations.

At personal level, the relationship is more based on giving and

sacrifices. Expecting for the benefit of other party is understandable but

expecting for self-benefit will generate pain in case other person fails to

fulfill your expectations. The best way is to expect as least as possible.

That will help you in maintaining peace and happiness.
