How to use "Expectation" in context?
Expectation is a very important part of our lives. It can be used to motivate us or to keep us from getting discourage. Expectation can be based on anything, from what we hope to achieve to what we think our friends or family will think of us. Our expectations can either help or hinder us in our goals. It is important to keep our expectations realistic and manageable, otherwise they can consume us and take over our lives. We should also be aware of the expectations of others and try not to put ourselves in a position where we have to live up to their expectations. Expecting the impossible will only lead to disappointment and frustration.
