You know how they always tell you to expect the unexpected? That's a load. If you expect the unexpected, then you're expecting it, so it's the expected not the unexpected. The saying should be, "Always expect the expected."
Then again, that's a little redundant and doesn't get the point of the expression across. So let's go with this: "Always expect what typically wouldn't be expected in order to prevent it from being the unexpected."
Also.
You know that whole "You miss every shot you don't take" thing? Again: a load.
You can't miss a shot you don't take. I mean, if you don't take it, you can't make it, but that doesn't mean you miss it. That's the whole point of taking a shot: so that you don't miss it. People don't take shots because there's an element of risk, and they're afraid they'll miss. As a result, they refrain from taking a shot so that they don't miss.
