I think there's a sort of satisfaction in defying people's expectations.

If I fulfill YOUR expectations, how am I going to transform you? I have to DESTROY your expectations. I have to destroy the very mind that creates those expectations. If you come to me, never come with expectations, otherwise you will be disappointed - because I have no obligation to fulfill your expectations in any way. In fact, if I see that there are some expectations, I do things DELIBERATELY to destroy those expectations. That is the price you have to pay to be with me.

Rajneesh

Do you think that we're products of our environments? I think so, or maybe products of our expectations. Others' expectations of us or our expectations.

Wes Moore

Humor is based on surprise, and surprise is a milder way of saying shock. It's surprise that makes the joke.

I read the books and I really, really wanted to play the part. I started kundalini yoga, kickboxing and running, and completely changed my diet.
