It's pretty disabling sometimes, the terror of not living up. My expectations are the worst.
Living up to people's expectations is one thing but it was even harder to live up to my own expectations.
The worst pair of opposites is boredom and terror. Sometimes your life is a pendulum swing from one to the other.
Living up to other people's expectations is always difficult. And then you have your own expectations and you set yourself goals that are very, very high. And that's true for everyone.
Downplaying their faults is pretty much the point of campaigns. But we do count on them living with the constant terror of public rejection.
Living in a state of terror was new to many white people in America, but black people have been living in a state of terror in this country for more than 400 years.
Kindness. The only possible method when dealing with a living creature. You'll get nowhere with an animal if you use terror, no matter what its level of development may be. That I have maintained, do maintain and always will maintain. People who think you can use terror are quite wrong. No, no, terror is useless, whatever its colour – white, red or even brown! Terror completely paralyses the nervous system.
I try to keep up to my producers' expectations. Sometimes, I can; sometimes, I cannot.
The reason that we don't have happy hours up here is because you never know when something might actually go sideways, and so we always have to be prepared in a worst, worst case scenario to jump on our spacecraft and go home. So, we have to keep it pretty straight and narrow while we're up here.
My worst days are still pretty good days. That's something I might lose in the moment sometimes, but I have a pretty good grasp of it.
You work hard and you have expectations. So I'm living my expectations right now.
Living in my parents' house is pretty sweet. It's not like they're rich or anything, but they're pretty nice to me, so it was pretty good living there, too, and all I did was jujitsu. I was just like a stallion, just living on my parents' couch. It wasn't terrible.
There's strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations.
We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes our expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still. The expected's just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.
Living up to other people's expectations is always difficult.
Think of how much we stress about living up to our "potential," and how it creates anxiety and terror in people; in short, stops them from living their life as fully as they might out of fear and self-loathing.
I went into NXT with no expectations. That's what I was told when I was hired - have no expectations, just do the best I could - and that's always what I've done for the last fifteen years. That's what I did, and you know, it's obviously working out pretty good.
