My understanding is that any genuine transformation can take place only
when it comes from deeps of one's being.<br>
<br>
In that context, I think I was trying to turn "Be Prepared to Be
Surprised!" into "Be Prepared to Surprise Yourself!"<br>
<br>
This turns me from "a passive waiting" mode to "passionate, yet
responsible waiting" mode both from the view point of practitioner and
participants.<br>
<br>
Actually I found myself being surprised by observing both those who
seemed genuinely excited (surprised) and not: I learn from both
instances and assume that participants will do the same. Surprise may
come from both the unknown (anyone or the mystery) and myself.<br>
<br>
Being a novice user of the technology, I may try this as one of
para-phrases of the original.<br>

<pre wrap="">In the begining of propagating Open Space (Technology), there were some
worries among us that people might not be surprised. Yes. Some were suprised
and some not. :-)
I used to say "I follow the OS text."
Now, it has dawned on me that I can say "It also indicates that you migyht
be the only one to surprise yourself and everyone else." Then, it may
contribute to turning the phrase into "The Law of Two Feet," which turns
expectation coming from 'without 'into 'within.' The net effect of this
seems as obvious as the powerful as 'The Law ~,' carrrying a slight nuance
of paradox. Has anyone tried this context?
