“In a consumer society, expectations dare not plateau, because a growing economy depends on rising expectations... The more we let our level of contentment be determined by outside factors-a new car, fashionable clothes, a prestigious career, social status-the more we relinquish control over our own happiness.” SocialLevelsCareersEconomyGrowingCarDependsClothesExpectationsDareDeterminedFactorsConsumersRisingContentmentConsumerismFashionableOverconsumptionNew CarSocial StatusPrestigiousGrowing EconomyFashionable Clothes Author:Paul Brand

“Normal children of both sexes and all cultures will follow a more or less standard and universal developmental pattern and timetable, and reach approximately the same level of development at maturity. While a particular culture's need and expectations and teaching will shape the course of development and affect adult capabilities to some degree, normal individuals, whatever their native culture, if transplanted and taught, could learn to meet the normal demands of their adapted cultures.” IfsNeedsChildrenCultureCoursesIndividualSexLevelsTeachingTaughtParticularDevelopmentShapesDemandDegreesNormalStandardsExpectationsAdultsUniversalPatternsMaturityNativeCapabilityAdaptedDevelopmentalTimetables Book:Daughters: from infancy to independence Source: Daughters: from infancy to independence
“Creating a high-functioning education system requires all the strategies involved in building high-functioning organisations anywhere. It requires a deliberate and aggressive strategy to ensure extraordinary talent at every level of the system, from the superintendentcy to district offices to principalships to classrooms. It requires building systems for accountability; offering parents the ability to choose their public schools is the ultimate form of this. It requires building a strong culture at the system and school levels based on high expectations for student achievement.” SchoolFormCultureStrongParentAbilityLevelsTalentStudentsBuildingInvolvedOfficeAchievementCreatingExpectationsUltimateStrategyExtraordinaryAccountabilityAggressiveClassroomOfferingDeliberatePublic SchoolOrganisationEducation SystemHigh ExpectationsAbility To ChooseStudent Achievement Author:Wendy Kopp
“You will learn that at higher levels of energy, our fields of prayer act very quickly to bring us exactly what we expect. If we fear, it brings to us what we fear. If we hate, it brings us more of what we hate. Thankfully when we go into these negative expectations, our prayer-fields collapse rather quickly because we lose our connection with the divine and are no longer outflowing love. But a fear expectation can still be powerful. That is why you must monitor your expectations carefully and set your field consciously.” IfsStillsHateEnergyLosesPrayerLevelsPowerfulFieldsDivineHigherExpectationsNegativeConnectionsCollapseOur PrayersHigher Level Author:James Redfield
