The secret to true happiness is a combination of low expectations and insensitivity.

Unhappiness is something we are never taught about we are taught to expect happiness but never a Plan B to use to use when the happiness doesn't arrive.

My happiness grows in direct proportion to my acceptance and in inverse proportion to my expectations.

Few enterprises of great labor or hazard would be undertaken if we had not the power of magnifying the advantages we expect from them.

I don't think actors should ever expect to get a role because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.

If I had my way if I was lucky enough if I could be on the brink my entire life - that great sense of expectation and excitement without the disappointment - that would be the perfect state.

It is great to be a blonde. With low expectations it's very easy to surprise people.

In other words don't expect to always be great. Disappointments failures and setbacks are a normal part of the lifecycle of a unit or a company and what the leader has to do is constantly be up and say 'we have a problem let's go and get it'.

Good is somebody who delivered and allowed the company to overcome obstacles without leaving a profound impact on its culture. Great is somebody who leads his company to achievements and performance and value that nobody was expecting it had.

There is no medicine like hope no incentive so great and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.
