serendipity

A lovely word ( with no parallel in any other language, I'm told). The reason I like it better than procrastination is because it needs you to try to make something happen. There is a chance element there but that would never come up if one did not attempt anything at all.

I feel most good designs are a result of that. When I think post-its, the kaleidoscope, dominoes ( its other use), tea....someone somewhere was trying something else and they ended up with something wonderful and different.

The lesson is to keep trying ....sooner or later something will go wrong...for the better!!!
