The Danger of Expectations: How They Shape Our Lives
Briefly

Expectations often lead us to believe that success is inevitable if we work hard enough or want it badly enough. However, the numbers tell a different story.
According to a report by Equilar (2023), less than 1 percent of professionals ever make it to the C-suite, and only a fraction of those become CEOs.
The expectation of a lifelong, happy marriage is common, yet divorce rates remain significant. In the U.S., approximately 40 to 50 percent of marriages end in divorce.
Entrepreneurs often start businesses with high expectations of success. However, 90 percent of startups fail, according to a study by Startup Genome (2019).
