LOW EXPECTATIONS

• The society generally has low expectations for just about everything, therefore making it difficult to achieve standards of excellence in anything
  
  
• The people tend to be content with the bare minimum and “surviving”. No one really thinks to thrive
  
  
• The government is seldom held accountable, nor does the system even permit them to be. The widely held belief is that public service is a license to have access to free government funds without accountability to the people.
  
  
• Our people are very risk averse – As the saying says, “No risk, no reward.” Risk taking is frowned upon by our people and indeed mocked, when  things do not succeed. Therefore, the rewards are also not there. No discovery mindset.
