from The Daily Disturbance · host Anthony Pangilinan

Should we? Shouldn’t we? As Alex Pope declared: “Blessed is he who expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed.” But can we even help it? I think not. But two issues remain: what will I expect? And from whom? Regardless, it’s good to note what this legend had to say about expectations: “I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.” - Bruce Lee

TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Should I still have expectations? This is the daily service vloggas with Anthony Fungini Night. I'm sorry, you can't help it. And every day you and I expect something.

The sun to rise, for example, the light switch to work. The faucet to produce water. In my home, specifically, in the morning, that the dog will be asking us to be brought to the garden. The alarm clock ringing at 6.30, although I'm normally up before that.

When he sailed, my wife already returning home from her morning run by that time. Every day, every morning, we expect something. But Anthony Alexander Pope said, blessed is he expects nothing, for he shall never be disappointed. Well, okay, but I think his life will also suck.

Come on, nothing else to yearn for and hold on to. You and I were designed to expect. It's just a question of what you expect, or what you don't expect. Even nothing is something.

Think about it, right? Check out that word in Webster's. There's a lot about the word nothing. So, what do you expect?

According to your faith, be it unto you. Matthew 929, Psalm 62 verse 5, my soul, wait in silence for God, for my hope is from him only. Now, setting the religious aside, from a work perspective, according to your positivity, social be your productivity. Seriously, when you see someone's result, look to the person's default.

What do you expect? And the second question, from whom do you expect? It should be from the able and the willing, the object of your faith or expectation, the root of the anticipated fruit. When a farmer plants, he expects a yield from the soil, right?

When a pilot manipulates the plane's control panel, he expects the aircraft to move because of its system. When a marksman aims and pulls the trigger, he expects a shot on or near the target from his rifle. I would doubt the results would be as good if the marksman maneuvers the plane, the farmer aims for the target, the pilot takes a hold of the cow's yoke. We can't help but expect.

The key questions are, what do you expect? And from whom? I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you're not in this world to live up to mine. Bruce Lee.
