The position that I take partly as a result of living in Asia is where you stop living according to your expectations and you become available to experience things as they are.

Both expectations and memories are more than mere images founded on previous experience.

I had no expectations about fatherhood really but it's definitely a journey I'm glad to be taking. Number one it's a great learning experience. When my mother told me it's a 24/7 job she wasn't kidding.

Let us be about setting high standards for life love creativity and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.

When I look at my daughter who's 24 she is much more confident than I ever was and her expectations are higher. But I worry that there is a backlash brewing against progress on equality.

Education is a shared commitment between dedicated teachers motivated students and enthusiastic parents with high expectations.

Let your dreams outgrow the shoes of your expectations.

Things have gone beyond my wildest expectations and dreams and I feel like I've been given so many blessings in my life between my friendship with the guys in the band our wonderful audience being able to play this music and then my family.

I mean I'm 48 years old and I've been through a lot in my life - you know loss whether it be death illness separation. I mean the failed expectations... We all have dreams.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations all pride all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death leaving only what is truly important.
