There may be difference in meaning of words expectation and aspirations. But here, I treat them as twins. I am in this world due to aspiration and what I am in life is the result of expectation of parent and aspiration of self. It is difficult to conclude as to which word comes first. I think both go together as twins, hand in hand.
Expectation saves from dejection and encourage as instigation to strive. Before expectation capacity of person should be considered. Every parent or well wisher may expect more than the capacity of someone. This inculcates thought in negative leading toward unexpected consequences. Such things are happening at present. Because of parents, children are missing their childhood. They are under deep stress and deprived of outdoor games necessary for physical strength and better immunities. Parents want their children to learn subjects, painting, dancing, swimming and music etc. at one time so that they may boast of their expectations in the societies and communities. Last sufferer is the child. Parent never asks the aspiration of child who is to bear the brunt of expectation. Parents may tell their expectation without forcing children. Otherwise, this affects the life of a child. If a child gets chance to follow her or his aspiration, the result will be different. The flower may bloom in whole heartedly.
We may say that guidance is must to children for making them acquainted with worldly affairs. No work is mean and unreasonable, and unimportant. In fact every work is supportive to other works. Cleaning is as important as good governance. Teaching is as important as research works. A complete set up need all to deliver good to society and humanity.
Since we are the results of aspirations, it should get priority to expectation. Expectation may go together, as it is also necessary in assessing the requirements for our future and making decisions.
Both words silently affect all walks of life.
Whatever, we witness, in the world, are because of these two. Every one has expectation as per interest and also expect from professionals, affecting life for comforts and ease. Even animals have expectations – live and let live.
The almighty who sends us, also has expectation for betterment of the nature and world, but our aspirations are dominating. The expectation should also be taken care to reap maximum benefits. Aspirations of all should be heard and considered for natural growth, suitable training and proper developments. Both are important. Aspire to expect. You are expected to expire.
