About This Quote

When you are given something that is very important to you, like your job, you feel a great deal of pressure to perform well. You may even feel pressure to do so well that no one could ever live up to your expectations. To those who are given much, much is expected, meaning it is expected that they will do things right. If they don’t do things right, then they can expect many consequences. They will be looked down on because of their failure and not praised because of their success.
