Page 130 it starts with being mindful in the first place of your expectations. That’s not a question most people ask themselves on a daily basis.

— from The Instruments (Awareness/Perception/Expectations)

In the book

Cross-check every important perception against fact. Before you act on a reading, ask the two questions that have saved me more than any others: Is this actually true? and What is another way I could see this? Get the other side first — solicit the other person's point of view before deciding you have the whole picture — and hold the humility that there are four sides to every story. Set expectations you can survive being wrong about. Begin by being mindful that you even have expectations, which most people never notice; then deliberately temper them, the way a good investor enters a position seeing things as they are rather than as he hopes. Organize your expectations before a hard meeting the way an emergency doctor triages — most likely case, worst case, what you'll do either way. — The Instruments (Awareness/Perception/Expectations)
