"We don't want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else"
- Lauryn Hill
About this Quote
This quote by Lauryn Hill talks to the concept of double standards. We often expect others to satisfy our expectations, while at the same time, we do not wish to be held to the very same requirements. This can be seen in lots of aspects of life, from relationships to work. We might expect our partners to be loyal and honest, while at the very same time, we don't want to be held to the very same expectations. We might anticipate our coworkers to be punctual and hardworking, while at the exact same time, we do not want to be held to the very same expectations. This quote is a reminder that we must make every effort to be consistent in our expectations of ourselves and others. We must not anticipate more from aside from we are willing to offer ourselves. We should strive to be reasonable and constant in our expectations of ourselves and others.
