Searching through the archives there were many many postings about
"be prepared to be surprised". But "How to be prepared to be
surprised" returned 0.<br>
<br>
Any tips on how to prepare? It came up as a question today for me in
conversation with someone - and I can't believe I've never thought
about it before. How do you prepare to be surprised? Any thoughts,
tips?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
