The next time you don't understand someone's style, language, or way
of being, I invite you to pause and be grateful for having eyes and ears to
see and hear them. Then take a moment to celebrate their interests the
way you would hope they celebrate yours. You don't have to share their
beliefs to be genuinely stoked for them. The world is a party waiting to
happen. All you have to do is shout SURPRISE and give them some
applause for doing their best with what they've been given.
