In nursing school many years ago, I had an instructor known for her bold educational approach. During one clinical rotation, six of my fellow classmates and I dutifully trailed her down the hall of an orthopedic unit when she suddenly thrust herself against the wall. Several of us stumbled into one another as we came to an abrupt halt. She looked at us with a sideways glance and forcefully whispered, "Anticipate!" While I'm not sure there was a way to predict her sudden move, there have been many times in my career when I've heard the echo of her voice saying, "Anticipate!"

We recently went shopping for a new grill, not because we wanted to, but because we had to. The final blow came when our son lifted the grill lid to load some kebobs and couldn't hide the disgusted look on his face.
