There's always going to be the circumstances you can't plan for. There's always the unexpected relevance and the serendipity.

What people call serendipity sometimes is just having your eyes open.

Serendipity always rewards the prepared.

A lot of it just has to do with luck, serendipity.

Serendipity is nice, but hoping for luck and the magic of happenstance shouldn't be an excuse for a lack of proactivity. I had to learn for myself that waiting isn't a life plan.

The concept of serendipity often crops up in research. Serendipity is the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things that were not being sought. I believe that all researchers can be serendipitous.

At one level, SXSW exemplifies serendipity, because whenever I come, I get these unexpected meetings with people I never knew existed, and you couldn't have planned it. But by making the choice to come to SXSW, I'm increasing the probability of those encounters.

In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts.

I've always loved life, and I've never known what's ahead. I love not knowing what might be round the corner. I love serendipity.

I always think I have a chance, and I always give it all I've got.
