Reflection on one's past events or incidents by nature brings a feeling of nostalgia, or remembrance by nature. How you can throw in expectation to it is by adding in the goals or current mindset you were in when experiencing those memories because it shows the reader what you wanted to achieve and any pitfalls along the way. The real world results happen when those goals and learning from the mistakes you made in your past experiences and turn them into a following outcome. An example of this is promising yourself never to be burned by something hot again when you were a child, later accidentally burn your hand on marsh-mellow stick and then the real world result is putting your hand near a questionably hot substance to feel if it is cool enough to actually touch. I hope this answer kind of makes sense. Its the only way I can make sense of it.Jon Hoffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17125576162960613959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-16392335501144417772011-10-30T20:10:54.746-07:002011-10-30T20:10:54.746-07:00See Fredrik de Boer's new comment to the threa...See Fredrik de Boer's new comment to the thread on his paper. When Hamlet swears an oath to the ghost, he doesn't just say something, he creates the fact that he has sworn an oath. This remembered fact drives him on through the rest of the play. When you make up your mind to do something, the act of telling yourself this information creates a new standard for you measure yourself against, i.e. an expectation. (Example: "Aaargh! I should've started this assignment sooner-- I TOLD myself I wouldn't procrastinate!") As for real-world results, you can look at this in two ways: 1) The way you think and achieve differently because of something you've told yourself; and 2) The "perlocutionary" impact of your words on others.Dr. Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870733544828744669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384832010390166324.post-47948450660875955712011-10-30T20:03:04.744-07:002011-10-30T20:03:04.744-07:00I don't understand this:
