miWisdom today… Everyone enjoys being surprised, as long as you don’t pull them out of their comfort zone and put them in a situation where they do something that goes against their nature. People however don’t enjoy being surprised when they have another agenda on their mind. In such instances, surprises can just get in the way of their daily activities leading to an inconvenient distraction despite other people’s best intentions.
- Have I taken into account this person’s schedule and daily activities when planning this surprise for them?
- Am I thinking about them or do I have my own personal agenda in mind?
- How will this person react to the surprise? Will it make them feel comfortable or uncomfortable?
- Is this the right method to use given what I know about this person?
