“When you use force, people get hurt, and when you kill people, their relatives don't like it. And usually war has some unanticipated consequences so it's something you shouldn't launch into, on the expectation that this is going to rally the nation. This is not like 'Friday Night Lights'.” PeopleWarUseLightNightForceNationsHurtExpectationsConsequenceFridayFriday NightNight LightFriday Night Lights Author:Wesley Clark
“The idea of equality is misunderstood. I wouldn't ever argue that everyone is the same, but that differences should not be hierarchical. Attitudes and expectations have been imposed on both men and women. For instance, men had very little to do with the raising of their children before the women's movement. The women's movement has freed men to become more active as fathers. We're living in a period of transition, but change can be much slower than we want, with unintended consequences, and can also be happening without our seeing it.” MenChildrenFatherAttitudeExpectationsMen And WomenConsequenceArguingMisunderstood Author:Lynne Tillman
“If not to God, you will surrender to the opinions or expectations of others, to money, to resentment, to fear, or to your own pride, lusts, or ego. You were designed to worship God and if you fail to worship Him, you will create other things (idols) to give your life to. You are free to choose, what you surrender to but you are not free from the consequence of that choice.” IfsGivingChoicesOpinionFailingPrideEgoWorshipExpectationsConsequenceLustSurrenderIdolsResentmentPurpose Driven LifeWorship God Book:The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?

“People underestimate the importance of dilligence as a virtue. No doubt it has something to do with how supremely mundane it seems. It is defined as "the constant and earnest effort to accomplish what is undertaken."... Understood, however, as the prerequisite of great accomplishment, diligence stands as one of the most difficult challenges facing any group of people who take on tasks of risk and consequence. It sets a high, seemingly impossible, expectation for performance and human behavior.” PeopleHumansSeemsDifficultChallengesEffortVirtueDoubtImpossibleRiskGroupsBehaviorExpectationsUnderstoodConsequenceTasksPerformancesImportanceConstantAccomplishDefinedAccomplishmentNo DoubtUnderestimateHuman BehaviorEarnestMundaneDiligencePrerequisitesDifficult ChallengesGreat Accomplishment Author:Atul Gawande
