Do you like to answer to someone's expectation and be praised for it?

Question

Even if you must sacrifice what you really want to do, will your smile be true?

Answer 1

not really i am just giving my feelings and i do not need to be praised for my answers.

Answer 2

No, most people set their expectations for someone too high and the majority of the time may be unattainable by anyone.
Praise is often, short lived, failure is heard forever.
It is more important for the individual to do their best, for God, family, work, society in that order, then comes anything else.

Answer 3

it depends on the situation.
I'd rather be true to myself and esteem myself.
I do like praise if i think it is genuine.
Expectations are risky in my experience.
They need to be flexible or they can lead to disapointment.
I think it is better not to have big expectations of other people.
That doesn't mean i don't have personal standards.

Answer 4

No, I know two people right now who expect things from me that I am unable to give and I don't know what to do. It makes me uncomfortable and resentful. My smile is fake, I am sure.

Answer 5

I like to keep peoples expectations low and, lessen My workload.
