The failure of work manifests itself in many ways: diminished self-esteem, toil without dignity, long hours on the job, poor pay, and the growing financial disparity between rank and file (the typical CEO in the 1990s made 150 times the average worker's pay), petty bureaucratic politics, the purposelessness of many of our tasks, the gnawing lack of creativity, fulfillment, and genuine sense of involvement on the job, the absence of autonomy, the increasing sense of isolation, excessive competitiveness, ineffective and inept leadership, physical and psychological enervation, feeling trapped in a system that primarily promotes products and profits over people, and the absence of the simple expectation of reward and recognition for a job well done.

When there's instant success, there is this expectation that (making it that far) is the norm and that we're always going to be there. What a lot of people don't realize is that the region is a lot tougher than before. Every team that has made it this far has earned it.

[Even with the rising costs, the travel industry is having its best year since before 2001.] Last year was a massive year for holiday travel,.. The summer kept going in that direction, and we have the same expectation for this year despite fuel costs.

When companies put pink ribbons on their products, they're no longer just selling a sweater or a watch -- they're selling the expectation that buying their product is going to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer.

My personal expectation is that I definitely want to finish as the best point guard in the NBA, and that translates into us winning,.. If I'm the best point guard in the NBA, it means that we're winning and we're a playoff contending team. It's just motivation for me to know that a lot of people have me low on the totem pole right now. I'm just trying to prove them wrong.

There are quite a number of boxes. I'm advised by staff that this isn't going to contain much sensational material. We're still reviewing over it. I don't think we should raise the level of expectation that there's a whole lot more to be seen in this material.
