High expectations yield high performance and respect. Expectations hold immence value in various spheres of life such as society, polity and education.

Arjuna was successful in defeating the Kauravas because Krishna had high expectations from him. Infact he had so much faith in Arjuna that he expected and persuaded him to fight his brothers.
Expectations convey confidence and a sense of trust. Once the expectations are met then people get more confident, which then leads to higher performance in the future.
