Expectation is about action, while anticipation is about results. Increasing our expectations for something fuels our motivation to act, but at the same time, lowering our anticipations helps reduce the sense of disappointment.
Investing can be seen as having a higher chance of success compared to starting a business, because you're putting your money into companies with stronger competitive advantages. However, whether you're investing or starting a business, you need to accept that you might lose that money the moment you put it in. Put in 100% effort, but don’t get too caught up in fantasies. The outcome will be a natural result of your hard work.
I see expectation and anticipation as same, because if I am expecting BTC to reach 100k I am not being motivated by anything because I already have took the action and now I am waiting or expecting BTC to reach 100k while I also anticipating BTC to reach 100K which means in my sense of language both words are same.
But I got your point here that we should focus on our actions instead of focusing on results first. I have a firm belief on it but looking at the result is also necassary for example if you started a business and did not anticipate the result so when you started it, you will be expecting higher results but if in starts you would have anticipated the possible outcomes you would have lowered your expectations as well. In short both have their own places and meanings in different situation but in some they are same
