I expect to receive my paycheck for the work I have done.
I hope that I still have a job on a daily basis.
I expect to have a rough day when I know what events lie ahead that will make it hard.
But I hope that my day will be good.
Most things I expect (like the above) are things that I cannot control but accept as my reality.
Alot of the things I hope for are things that I can only wish for.
My perception is that expectation is something that you feel is owed to you (like a paycheck or the acceptance of an upcoming bad day) and yet it is out of your control. But on the flip side of that - you can expect to be treated with respect. Again, you expect it because you are worth it and respect is owed to you but you can only hope that it will happen as you have no control over other people and not all situations. (Yea, I know, I probably confused you on that one).
However, my point is that I think it's different for each person. And I believe it's how you perceive it to be. Is it something you expect or something you hope for?
To sum it up:
For me, expect is something I demand
(not that I'll always get it)
but hope is something that I wish for
(though I may not always get that either).
