"Don't put him on a pedestal"-an admonition
It is not uncommon for us to meet new people and become in awe with that person. At times the person exceeds our expectations and we are even more amazed.
But what happens when that person falters and falls below our expectation? It is not only the person who fails but we also fail. We fail because now our own judgement comes in question.
We are all human. We will exceed and fail to rise up expectations. It seems so hard not to pre-judge people but to let them show their true colors over time.
I have had two instances in my life when people who I believed in completely lose my belief in them. In both instances the person thought that they can raise their level by lowering a group down. Unfortunately both did not realize that one can never rise up by pushing others down.
Today's question is:
"How do you react when people fail to meet your high expectations?"
