I miss Gerry Weinberg. Used to get lunch with him regularly
He credits a man named Sherbie for the three rules. That man was my grandfather.
The best advice Gerry gave me was when I was in a tough spot in college. “Expectations are fickle things that we work ourselves up over. Reevaluate them regularly, they have expiration dates long before they begin to smell funny.”
- mlrtime 3y agoThat's a long way of saying what I often tell people. "Disappointment is when expectations don't match reality" Meaning, that depending on the situation simply reevaluating your expectations can lead to satisfaction.
- borroka 3y agoReassessing expectations means, I would say in the vast majority of cases, lowering them, not raising them. I would advise, as always depending on the person and the situation, to make peace with disappointment and to have higher expectations, especially of oneself, not of others, that a reasonable person would have.
- lazyant 3y agothe generalization of this is: "feelings is the clash between expectations and reality"
