The Gap Between Expectation and Reality is Disappointment | MWM
Keep Your Promises = Promise is a word of anticipation, hope, and growth. Don’t over-promise and under-deliver, instead, under-promise and over-deliver. The gap between expectation and reality is a disappointment. When you promise something, don’t create that gap. Fulfill your promises.
