Ok... TODAY just like an other day... when I have again a reason to cry..I sat down a lot of stuff is coming into my mind... and then it came up: whats the difference between Expectation and Assumption? ... and I thought about it and I thought about it... and then I thought ... Why not write a blog on it... Well.. Yeah.. So I thought and thought and thought about it and ... .Expectation:
is something that you WANT to happen...but you are NOT sure that it will.The dictionary defines it as:Eager anticipationBelief about (or mental picture of) the futureWishing with confidence of fulfillmentThe feeling that something is about to happen.
Assumption:
is something that you think WILL happen...and you ARE almost sure that it will.Something taken for granted or accepted as true without proof; a suppositionA statement that is assumed to be true and from which a conclusion can be drawn.A hypothesis that is taken for granted
So....wrong assumptions lead to angry regret and wrong expectations lead to sad dissappointment...
Hmmm...Does this make sense?

An assumption could be of something negative though, could it not?
I assume that a student will cut my class today because it happens every day. Today it did not. That could be seen as a positive breakage in my assumptions.
Thank you
