--Precisely, auth: being highly motivated to succeed can ONLY be measured (in the economic sense) via a quantifiable level of profits in some form. That's an expectation, is is not? This means one does her best to achieve a goal - (then don't mope about it); then go onto the next goal. The fact that one doesn't mope by no means detracts from the reality of true expectation. Whether or not one mopes, it's still an expectation of results. If indeed, MMY displayed a low level of expectation (but a high level of creative motivation with this and that project), well, I'd say it points to a relative failure at achieving some preconceived results (an expectation). And what was that? Simple: according to the set of oaths that somebody was kind enough to post, one of the goals was to spread TM to as many people as possible. The results are miniscule, the espected and hoped for goal unattained. Now what remains of the TM Movement is in the hands of....?
