Even unaware of, everyone’s expecting experience starts long before coming to this world over several weeks in a row. A quite similar experience is faced by the promising young sportsman who expects to be drafted by a leading club and fulfilling his dreams to unleash all his potential and become successful in his sports career. Likewise, the professional football player also expects one day to be called by the coach to defend his national team and play the World Football Cup. After several years of hard work, and oftentimes badly slept nights, students expect to be approved in their final exams and be granted their degree. The experienced professional, on his turn, expects anxiously for an opportunity to be called for a job interview that might come soon or unfortunately, not. Although artists master the skill to make us believe in the emotions that they convey through the fictional characters, they cannot help expecting to be awarded by their work. All in all, expecting is highly laborious. It not only takes time, but it is, in fact, paradoxically time passing through one’s fingers but completely out of your control. Expecting raises the hopes that the outcome might be happily fulfilled, just like the long-awaited son. However, it can also be quite frustrating. Like a failed final year exam, not being drafted by the desired team or remembered by the national coach to play the World Cup. Or maybe, not being seriously considered for the job that you were confident to be fully qualified for. Nonetheless, the intriguing thing with expecting is that no matter how time and energy-consuming it can be, once the awaiting moment is over, it also vanishes all the anxieties, uncertainties and hopelessly that might have crossed your mind and heart. Thus, although expecting for something important is far from easy, developing the confidence and peace of mind that one day the wait will be over is crucial, even though it might be inevitable to wish that the wait does not take that long.
