:: Expectation ::
In the case of uncertainty, expectation is what is considered
the most likely to happen. An expectation, which is
a belief that is centred on the future, may or may not
be realistic. A less advantageous result gives rise to the emotion of
disappointment. If something happens that is not at all expected
it is a surprise. An expectation about the behavior or performance of
another person, expressed to that person, may have
the nature of a strong request, or an order.
