Editorial November 16, 1998 Issue

Raise your expectations

Russ Gerber

The labor strike won't be resolved soon; the home improvement project will probably cost more than we budgeted; my spouse will never understand my needs; work is always the same old routine. All those thoughts rattling on: what can't happen, what probably won't go right, what he or she will never provide, why you shouldn't expect to be happy. Low expectations.

Low expectations are a kind of prison.
