As accountants, we deal with several issues at hand. Sometimes, we make guesses or expectations that certain events will occur in the near future. Oftentimes, what we do not really expect comes up and we end up puzzled because we may not know how to deal with that outcome.

To expect something is not really bad. However, with our profession, we can not expect too much and think less of the reality. Expectations are not spurious per se, but we have to limit doing so because it just helps us to prepare for the best or the worst case scenarios that might happen. These things have the possibility to happen but it is not definite.

The reality is all too different from the expectations we can conjure. Sometimes, the reality may be harsh, but what we can only do is accept it. The reality may not be what we expect it to be, but what else can we do? We cannot manipulate what we want to happen for our future. What we can only do is correct the mistakes we have committed and start it again.

As an accountant, we have to be realistic because we have to be objective and accurate to be sure of what we are doing. Nothing beats any situation by being realistic and true. We cannot help expecting but, it is better to expect and accept whatever the result maybe.
