The definition of disappointment in life is expectations minus reality equals disappointment. The only two solutions you have to get over disappointment is to either alter your reality or alter your expectations.

Randy Carlson

If your expectations aren't to be the best, then... you know, nobody rises to low expectations.

Chip Kelly

Never raise expectations in others that you cannot realize: promise is less pleasing than disappointment is vexatious.

Norm MacDonald

My instinct is to assume that we consumers are an inconsistent bunch. We like competition if it delivers low prices, but grumble if it delivers the bad news that prices need to go up.

Evan Davis

A life that is burdened with expectations is a heavy life. Its fruit is sorrow and disappointment.

Douglas Adams

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

David O. Russell

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, it’s not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

Stephenie Meyer

I don't really distinguish between a fictional hero and a real life hero as a basis for any comparison. To me, a hero is a hero. I like making pictures about people who have a personal mission in life or at least in the life of a story who start out with certain low expectations and then over achieve our highest expectations for them. That's the kind of character arc I love dabbling in as a director, as a filmmaker.

Steven Spielberg

If you expect perfection from people your whole life is a series of disappointments, grumblings and complaints. If, on the contrary, you pitch your expectations low, taking folks as the inefficient creatures which they are, you are frequently surprised by having them perform better than you had hoped.

Bruce Barton

Low expectations is the key to happiness in life.

Christopher Miller

If I answer questions every time you ask one, expectations would be high. And as you know, I like to keep expectations low.

George W. Bush

I still work that expectation/disappointment cycle all the time. I think it is part of the human nature and I think the most important thing is not to judge it. We are human and we do have expectations and a lot of our expectations are often not met. It is a process of learning how to be kind and compassionate and loving to ourselves when we don't get the things we want when people, circumstances, and opportunities don't match our expectations.
