A ran into a woman I grew up with and quickly, we caught up on old times.

When I asked her about her personal life, it sounded like a comedy of errors. Finally, with a laugh, she said she was thinking of opening a dating service, and unlike that well known one, Great Expectations, shed call hers, No Expectations!

She had been disappointed so many times that she figured a better approach is to assume nothing about the people youre seeing.

Thats not the way to succeed, as I see it. Instead of settling for less, we have to relentlessly pursue more.

I do this by using The Law of Large Numbers.

It says, if you do enough of anything, youll succeed.

Do more, and you may grow rich.

Outdo even that amount, and youll become a legend.

For example, there are some writers of ezine articles who have so many, that its improbable anyone will rival them. While the writing is flawed, and often hard to follow, it doesnt matter, at least to these authors.

Theyre in the game for exposure, to promote themselves personally as cool people, and to meet others, or to build their small businesses. And the more they do, of whatever quality, the more theyll get, in positive returns.

By the way, to produce hundreds or even thousands of articles, you have to have high expectation levels, especially pertaining to your abilities to produce and to contribute.

Perhaps, this is where my friend went wrong. She should have been increasing her self-expectations instead of lowering her expectations of others.
