Of Managing Expectation

I find it funny when people have unrealistic expectations from others! Well in easy language expectation to me is:

"What I can do for others is what others will do for me!"

Its all about managing expectations right for yourself & for others. Its better to be clear in managing them than to carry a burden of not meeting someone's expectation later.

So to assess a situation and to get an answer, when a situation or behaviors bothering you, following a simple exercise helps:

1. Why a typical situation/behavior
2. Look back and assess other situation associated with it
3. Analyze if it comes as a reciprocation to what vibes you had sent.

Things will look less complicated and the clouds of hatred will start fading away by giving way to a ray of light/hope.
