We tend to get what we expect - both from ourselves and from others. When we expect more, we tend to get more; when we expect less, we tend to get less.
Oh the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
I don't know, but I think it's going to be good.
Believing in people before they have proved themselves is the key to motivating people to reach their potential.
Live each day as if was your last, not in the future, not in the past. You may not get what you want, but, in the long run, you will get what you expect.
I wish you the best that can be hoped for, and no worse than can be expected.
An optimist expects his dreams to come true; a pessimist expects his nightmares to.
Hope is the most treacherous of all human fancies.
Children are apt to live up to what you believe of them.
Hope and fear are inseparable. There is no hope without fear, nor any fear without hope.
Expect to succeed even before you start. All winners, no matter what their game, start with the expectations that they are going to succeed. Winners say, "I want to do this and I CAN do this", not "I would like to do this, but I don't think I can."
You want to have a future where you’re expecting things to be better, not one where you’re expecting things to be worse.
Optimism is an expectation that good things are going to be plentiful. The wealthy generally have the sense that life will bring good rather than bad outcomes. That doesn't mean they believe that good things will be omnipresent, but that they will outnumber the not-so-good.
Real optimism is exposed to the worst but expects the best.
I daydream about things I want to happen, but none of it is more complicated, most of the time, than just really hoping that the good parts and the well-written parts are the ones that turn up on my doorstep.
There never was a winner that didn't expect to win in advance.
Your mind creates your reality. If you expect nothing, you open up the universe to give you options. If you expect the worst, you usually get it.
I expect us to win. I expect us to get better every day.
Hope does not disappoint.
If you have hope for the future you have true riches; no matter how much you have in your account
Expect the best from your people and they will usually deliver but your expectations must be realistic.
Expectancy speeds progress. Therefore, live in a continual state of expectancy. No matter how much good you are experiencing today, expect greater good tomorrow. Expect to meet new friends. Expect to meet new and wonderful experiences. Try this magic of expectancy and you will soon discover a dramatic side to your work which gives full vent to constructive feeling.
Be positive, cheerful, grateful and expectant.
The year has held its ups and downs for me; I'm sure it has for you, too. I'm counting on the year ending on a note of joy (and gingerbread!) and look forward to a new year brimming with promise and peace.
. . perhaps the greatest satisfaction on the first day of the season is the knowledge in the evening that the whole of the rest of the season is to come.
