A surprising, interesting and initially frustrating thing for me was taking some retreats with SSRS -- and his ample use of the phrase "I don't know". Coming from the TMO, "home of all knowledge" view, SSRS was "shocking", at first. But he gets very exited about the Mystery of It All. And that bewildered awe is a perfectly acceptable, appropriate response. He also says "So What!?" a lot. Which if used in ones own personal affairs, can be quite cleansing. To both "good" and "bad" events. I Don't Know. But So What!
Gotta love it.
