Another Valuable Life Lesson:
If you never expect anything from anyone, than you will never get hurt. It's hard to break the habit of expectations, but once you do, you will be a lot happier. The only person you should expect anything from is yourself, because you can control you, everything else in life should be unexpected. This makes it more fun, and more enjoyable. I've learned that if you expect too much from people, either because it is something you think they are capable of, or something you know you would do yourself, you end up crushed when you realize that not everyone's heart is as generous and kind!
Some good quotes that capture this idea:
"Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarain" - Dennis Wholey
"Never idealize others. They wil never live up to your expectations." =Leo Buscaglia
"As I know more of mankind, I expect less of them, and am ready to now call a man a good man, upon easier terms than I was formerly." Samuel Johnson
