Hi Lourdes Adriana!
Yes, and also in Chile: you have the amazing Fernando Flores, a man who

This background story on the "wonderful internal contradiction" does
explain the curiously dissonant sentence structure of "Be prepared to be
surprised."
"Be prepared to be surprised" is a directive, a structure that is
