NEW WORD - SERENDIPITY


Serendipity means a "fortunate happenstance" or "pleasant surprise".

Noun: Finding something good without looking for it.

It was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. In a le<er he wrote to a friend, Walpole
explained an unexpected discovery he had made by reference to a Persian fairy tale,
The Three Princes of Serendip.
The princes, he told his correspondent, were "always making discoveries, by accidents
and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of".
The noGon of serendipity is a common occurrence throughout the history of scienGc
innovaGon such as Alexander Fleming's accidental discovery of Penicillin in 1928, the
invenGon of the microwave oven by Percy Spencer in 1945, and the invenGon of the
Post-It Note by Spencer Silver in 1968.

SERENDIPITY
In June 2004 a BriGsh translaGon company voted the word to be one of the
ten English words hardest to translate.

The New Oxford DicGonary of English denes serendipity as the occurrence
and development of events by chance in a saGsfactory or benecial way,
understanding the chance as any event that takes place in the absence of
any obvious project (randomly or accidentally), which is not relevant to any
present need, or in which the cause is unknown.

If you nd good things without looking for them, serendipity unexpected
good luck has brought them to you.

InnovaGons presented as examples of serendipity have an important
characterisGc: they were made by individuals able to "see bridges where
others saw holes" and connect events creaGvely, based on the percepGon of
a signicant link.

The chance is an event, serendipity a capacity.

SERENDIPITY
You can thank serendipity if you nd a pencil at an empty desk just as
you walk into an exam and realize that you forgot yours.

enough to change the world are

Make
the right
choice

Innovation comes from saying no to


1,000 things to make sure we dont
get on the wrong track or try to do too
much.

The world
belongs to
those who
dare

People dont want to just buy


personal computers anymore.
They want to know what they
can do with them, and were
going to show people exactly
that

the
message

Dont listen
to the
clowns

Dont the let noise of others


opinions drown out your own
inner voice.
