-- Dianne,
Thanks for that great list of expectations. Here's mine, as I try to manage
those butterflies in my stomach, after applying for a new job yesterday( an
alternative charter school, where I applied to be social worker...I don't
have the traditional prerequistes for this, but I'm blasting my way through
that little impediment with postive thoughts) I've been at my current job
for 12 years, so this feels like a BIG deal for me.
I expect that the perfect job is waiting for me.
I expect that I will work with a team of people who are all wanting me to
excell.
I expect that the training will be perfectly timed and just what I need to
feel super confident.
I expect the salary to be higher than I expected.
I expect that I will always have plenty of time to do the work, and that it
practically does itself, with ease.
I expect that I will finish up my time in my current job with good
feelings,and plenty of time to do it all, and it's way easier than I
thought, and others will show up to eagerly take over my responsibilities.
I expect that the month of August will find me energized as I look both
backward and forward with great pleasure.
I expect that August will feel rich with closure with the relationships I
have formed with clients over the years. I will give them good feedback, and they'll do the same for me.
I expect that the timing will seem perfect..I move on from my current job
in just the right way and will look back at the experience as rewarding and satifying.
I expect that as I finish the school year next June, I will look back at a
great first year, and the knowing that it all clicked into place. Click,
click, click.
Yea!!! I feel better now.
As I was putting my resume and application together yesterday, I kept
checking my e-mail, knowing that everything that came in would make me fell
better. And of course, it did.
Thanks to all the wonderful Abers, and Abe, and ATI!
Love,
Phyllis

Hi all, I thought that this was a powerful story of positive expectation at
work. At the bottom is a list of my expectations.
Great Expectations
Pete Rose, the famous baseball player, and I have never
met, but he taught me something so valuable that it changed
my life.
Pete was being interviewed in spring training the year
he was about to break Ty Cobb's all time hits record. One
reporter blurted out, "Pete, you only need 78 hits to break
the record. How many at-bats do you think you'll need to get
the 78 hits?"
Without hesitation, Pete just stared at the reporter
and very matter-of-factly said, "78." The reporter yelled
back, "Ah, come on Pete, you don't expect to get 78 hits in
78 at-bats do you?"
Mr. Rose calmly shared his philosophy with the throngs
of reporters who were anxiously awaiting his reply to this
seemingly boastful claim. "Every time I step up to the
plate, I expect to get a hit! If I don't expect to get a
hit, I have no right to step in the batter's box in the
first place!"
"If I go up hoping to get a hit," he continued, "then I
probably don't have a prayer to get a hit. It is a positive
expectation that has gotten me all of the hits in the first
place."
When I thought about Pete Rose's philosophy and how it
applied to everyday life, I felt a little embarrassed. As a
business person, I was hoping to make my sales quotas. As a
father, I was hoping to be a good dad. As a married man, I
was hoping to be a good husband.
The truth was that I was an adequate salesperson, I was
a not so bad father, and I was an okay husband. I
immediately decided that being okay was not enough! I wanted
to be a great salesperson, a great father and a great
husband. I changed my attitude to one of positive
expectation, and the results were amazing. I was fortunate
enough to win a few sales trips, I won Coach of the Year in
my son's baseball league and I share a loving relationship
with my wife, Karen, to whom I expect to be married for the
rest of my life! Thanks, Mr. Rose!
