Everyone has high expectations for themselves, but we often don’t have the same expectations for others. We expect them to be able to do it all without any practice or effort, like a superman coming in and saving the day. We should have higher standards for ourselves and lower ones for others because our own successes are easier to maintain when we expect ourselves to succeed. High expectations are key because they will help us achieve success as well as encourage other people in their personal goals too.
As a child, we are all taught to be respectful and have high expectations for ourselves. We aspire to be successful. High expectations are positive because they help us achieve our long term goals. For example, everybody wants to complete a good grade and pass an exam in order to not get into trouble in school. If high standards were set for ourselves, then we would be able to achieve these goals and this will help us when it comes time to apply for universities or jobs.
High standards can also inspire others to improve their own lives as well as motivate them when they see how much others put forth into achieving higher levels of success. High expectations can be quite intimidating at first, but when you start to see the results and all of the hard work paying off it can often be a very rewarding experience.
High expectations are necessary in order to maintain success. If you keep lowering your standards for yourself or others, then you will never have the motivation to improve yourself. Not only that, but if you do not have high expectations then other people will not either and they will view your efforts as unsuccessful.
When we constantly fail in everything we do, it’s easy to let our spirits down and not want to pursue anything anymore.
