Debuggingin detail:
Accept.This is not as expected.
Understand.Why is it the way it is?
Learn.What premise(s) was theexpectation based upon?
Move on.Assume possible falsepremises, check early.
Keep energy flowing.Remember next time whenfeeling disappointed.
Be happy.Create an expectation that islikely to be met. ☺
Debuggingexpectationscan help validating your own premises,make smarter premisesand come up with expectationslikely to be met.
