Good day family,

INTRODUCTION

Surprises can be best explained to be experiences events, gifts etc that are planned to occur without notice, with the intention of making someone pleased and amazed.

Having gotten an understanding of what surprise is, join me as I submit my entry to this interesting contest.

DO YOU LOVE SURPRISES OR PLANNED THINGS TO FOLLOW IN YOUR LIFE? SHARE REASONS BEHIND YOUR CHOICE!

To be honest, planned things in themselves are not bad and I will understand when others choose planned things over surprises.

Personally, I will choose surprises to follow in my life over planned things, and explain below are my reasons.

• Dopamine Release:

One reason I love surprises is that it initiates dopamine release in the body, and this release of dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is linked with excitement, pleasure, and reward processing in the brain.

What I am trying to say in essence is that, surprises helps to make me happier than a planned event.

• Emotional Connection:

Another reason I love surprises is that it helps to build an emotional connection between me and my friend.

Surprises to me serve as a demonstration of efforts and thoughtfulness from my friends, which helps me to build gratitude, appreciation and further feelings of emotional connection.

• Memory Creation:

Another reason I love surprises is that it tends to stay longer in my mind.

Surprises helps to create sweet memories in my mind and this helps me to have lots of interesting experiences, and this Will make me feel good whenever I think about it

WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS IN BOTH CASES? DESCRIBE.

There are pros and cons of both scenerio, and I will be starting with that of surprises .

Pros Of Surprises

• The first pro of surprise that I know of is that surprises tends to bring deep joy and delight to a person, especially when it is being thoughtful.

• Also, surprise helps to build internal bond with the person it is done for.

Cons Of Surprise

• The disadvantage of surprise is that when it is unpleasant, it can lead to anxiety and stress.

There are some unpleasant surprises that can leave a person devastated.

• Another disadvantage of surprise is that it can disrupt the schedule and plans of a person, as such, leading to confusion and disappointment.

Pros Of Planned Event

• One advantage of planned event is that a person will not be caught off guard, as he will be aware of all the things in the schedule, thus it will help such a person to be well prepared.

Cons Of Planned Event

• One disadvantage of a planned event is that the person might not feel special, and might not appreciate it as much as he would have when it's being done as a surprise.

SHARE YOUR MEMORABLE STORIES RELATED TO SURPRISE AND PLANNED THINGS OR OCCASIONS.

Well, I have no memories as to a surprise event nor a planned one

I do attend parties and other events but I have not been privileged to be amongst its organizers.

When I attended this parties and events, I was still very little, and as such, I wasn't among its planners

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL AFTER PLANNING THINGS? SHARE YOUR STORY IF ANY.

In my country, to plans events and surprises such as this requires lots of capital, as our economy is bad

And as such, I have not been able to plan any of this event because I do not have enough resource to plan them.

CONCLUSION

I appreciate @sduttaskitchen for hosting this contest, and I hope to participate in many more contest to come.
