The art of teaching, when properly practiced, utilizes the emotion of surprise, helping those we influence see themselves and the world anew through profound truths, reliable principles, and creative solutions.

 

Quotes:

Henri Nouwen: “Each day holds a surprise. But only if we expect it can we see, hear, or feel it when it comes to us. Let's not be afraid to receive each day's surprise.”

 

Ashley Montagu: “The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us.”

 

Charles Morgan: “There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man’s shoulder.”

 

Coaching Question: Did I do my best to receive this day’s surprise?
