Expectation and Satisfaction

I wonder…

Is the quality of a person’s satisfaction of a thing tied to the amount and quality of their expectations of that thing?

The implication is that there’s a sweet spot in how much expectation we give others. Just enough, but not too much.

Just for fun…

I tried to turn the thought into a math equation just for the fun of it. Feel free to tell me how I’m wrong or how it needs to change:

  • Let Q = experience of satisfaction

  • Let E = amount and quality of expectation created.

  • Equation: Q = f(1/E) (The experience of satisfaction (Q) is the function (f) of 1 over the amount and quality of expectation created (E)).
