People have [higher/lower] expectations as their lives get better. [Therefore/ However], the higher the expectations, the[easier/ more difficult] it is to be satisfied. We can [decrease/ increase] the satisfaction we feel in our lives by controlling / raising our expectations. [Inadequate/ Adequate] expectations leave [a room/ room] for many experiences to be [unpleasant/ pleasant] surprises. The challenge is to find a way to have proper expectations. One way to do this is by keeping wonderful experiences [frequent / rare]. No matter what you can afford, [consume/ save] great wine for special occasions. Make an elegantly styled silk blouse a [ordinary/ special] treat. This may seem like an act of [using/ denying] your desires, but I don’t think it is. [On the contrary/Similarly], it’s a way to make sure that you can continue to experience [familiarity / pleasure]. What’s the point of great wines and great blouses if they don’t make you feel great?

In the modern developed world, we have moved [below/beyond] the need to worry about basic survival. Food can be taken for granted , as can a minimum level of income. We expect society to provide a roof over our head. We no longer need our [recent/ ancient] survival instinct. Even so, it remains with us. If a resource we have is threatened, we will fight to keep it. Now that we do not have to worry about food, we have translated the concept of [luxury/ necessity] to other aspects of modern life: a house, a car and an annual foreign holiday. If these come under threat, our hardwired instinct is to [abandon/ protect] them. These aspects of our lifestyle are [not vital/vital] to survival, and we will not kill other people to defend them, but our [conscious/ subconscious] is urging us to protect what we [don't have/ have].

The first general trait of the subconscious is best told in a [metaphor/contrast]. In the period from birth till you are about seven years old, an [limited/ endless] tape is filled with the information you gather. The information, [therefore/ however], is not [neutral /subjective]. It is registered in terms of good or bad, nice or terrible, positive or negative. When the experience is emotional, the information will be registered as [less/ more] important. After about seven years, the initial self-image is [formed /gone]. That initial self-image is the base from which all your actions will be started and directed, and your actions define your results. [So/But] it will be very [useless/ useful] to know yourself-image. If you want to be able to manage yourself and define your results, you will have to understand your [transformed /subconscious] self-image.

At issue is the [unwillingness / willingness] of speakers and listeners who routinely [read/ misread] one another to detect and repair signs of verbal or nonverbal [concord/discord]. Where there is no evidence that miscomprehension or misunderstanding has occurred, as when a listener fails to hear something clearly stated, such small-scale failures may go [noticed/ unnoticed]. On a larger scale, complex linguistic failures among adult speakers are linked to strategic exploitation, deceit, unexpressive reactions, and persistent inability to grasp literal or intended meanings. Unless linguistic ambiguities work to [improve/ disturb] the flow or pace of conversation, personal difficulties in complex discourse comprehension may [be received/ be ignored] and may thereby generate greater levels of mutual [understanding / misunderstanding] than what one actually discovers. To make confused matters [worse/better], an [even/ uneven]balance of badly mismatched or [combining/ conflicting] interpretations may be [irrationalized/ rationalized], denied, or disguised to [pretend/ preserve] the appearance of mutual understanding.
