“Our environment, the world in which
we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.” – Earl
Nightingale
All over the world, the expectations
and aspirations of the people are rising. Employees expect a lot from
employers, customers expect a lot from companies, students expect a lot from
teachers, children expect a lot from their parents and citizens expect a lot
from their leaders. At times, it is tough to rise up to their expectations due
to human limitations or lack of resources.
The solution for this is the empathy from all stakeholders. People must
realize the fact that they must be reasonable in expecting from others. They
must emphasize on excellence to grow constantly to rise up to others’
aspirations. They must learn, unlearn and relearn with the changing times and
technologies to live up to the expectations of all stakeholders.
Conflicts arise when there is a gap
between the expectations and the reality. In order to avert conflicts, it is
essential not to have unrealistic and unreasonable expectations from others.
Additionally, it is essential to empathize with others. At the same time, it is
essential to be out of the comfort zone always to prove and excel in life. Dave
Anderson rightly remarked, "Don't get complacent. Push yourself out of
your comfort zone and set higher standards of achievement for yourself. Once
you've achieved a standard of excellence, never let it rest--push yourself even
higher."
This is a highly cutthroat competitive
world where there are no excuses for lack of performance or failures. Hence,
people must be careful with their commitments and constantly strive hard to prove
themselves and excel in their lives.
"Don't lower your expectations to
meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your
expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to
make it a reality." - Ralph Marston
