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.
Nice one I like the fact that you were able to elaborate the two distinctive feature but mostly life depends on this two criteria but you made mention of expectation being an action while anticipations it's about results, so what's the point you said one should lower their anticipations but rather raise or increas their expectations. I think you need to talk more on that aspect cause I can't really place it very well but in most cases the both are needed especially in the aspect of investing yeah I get the fact that one's expectations can be high in regards to the outcome they prefer but sometimes it doesn't come out as plan or how you strategise but it's nothing to worry about because surely there would be a successful inputs in time to come so this is why when expectations comes in anticipation energise it.
There is no difference, if you take the time to look at some online dictionaries you will see that expectation and anticipation are synonyms, and while I understand what the OP was trying to say, the terms they used are the same, and even if they were not they are too similar to most people so they could have used terms that are more easily understood so their point was easier to understand and no clarification was needed.
