We tend to live up to our expectations.

Earl Nightingale
About This Quote

Once people have expectations for us, we tend to live up to those expectations. We may even go so far as to make our own expectations. That’s because people want to be good at something or they want to be accepted by others. They want to be judged by what they do, not who they are.
