Summary

This quote suggests that when we have low expectations or don't expect anything at all, we are more likely to be pleasantly surprised by the outcomes. By not holding onto specific expectations, we are open to receiving whatever comes our way. It implies that if we attach ourselves to specific expectations, we may close ourselves off from the possibility of experiencing unexpected and positive elements in life. Therefore, having no expectations introduces an element of surprise and adds to the enjoyment and satisfaction we derive from the outcomes we receive.
