seeing what everybody else has seen, and
thinking what nobody else has thought.

rest, daydreaming and serendipity. Take
breaks away from your desk, especially when
you get stuck on a problem.

Engineering serendipity is this idea that we
can help people come across unexpected but
helpful connections at a better than random

lucky - to think of serendipitous as smart.
~
Ethan Zuckerman
What people call serendipity sometimes is
just having your eyes open.
