After all the expected is handled, the process is executed, the work is fine-tuned – it’s worth incorporating the unexpected.
Movies do it best.
Consider Santa Clause. There’s a moment when it pans the hallway of the North Pole and there are two doors with a sign “Ballroom” above it – beyond the doors you see massive bouncing balls. Hilarious.
Or Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when the aunt is blown up like a balloon. Moments later when Harry is walking down the street, in the distance in the sky you can see his aunt still floating away. A wonderfully clever touch.
These are moments that might fly under the radar of the many. But those who witness it would miss them if they were gone.
Stay Positive & Surprise And Delight
