Sure I hope for the best case scenario but I prepare for the worst because of past experience. Also current experience has shown me that it works because if they do exceed expectations, I am pleasantly surprised that my hopes have come true for today. When they meet expectations, I am ready. No disappointment since I didn't have high expectations of them anyways. Like buying a lottery ticket. I hope to win but I am expecting to lose that dollar I bought the ticket with. Either it will meet my expectations and nothing will come out or not. If not and say I get $1 and break even, it is a pleasant surprise. If I get more, better pleasant surprise. Since I realized that, unless there is bad judgment on my part, I haven't been disappointed.

I keep a close eye on people anyways. While I trust my wife, I frequently verify what she says or does. If she passes the test, I move on till I re-evaluate later on. If she fails, I check more and more till I determine what happened.
