Serendipity




Ser.en.dip.i.ty
the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy and beneficial way

It originated in the 1754, coined by Horace Walpole, suggested by the "The Three Princes of Serendip", a title of a fairy tale in which the heroes "were always making discoveries, by accidents or sagacity, of things they were not in quest of."

Serendip is also the old name of Persia.


Then we realize that the origin of this concept is not even romantic.  It included a lost camel which is blind in one eye, missing a tooth and lame.  Of course there were three princes from Serendippo in the Far East who had great wisdom (or analytical skills) and reward at the end of the story.  

Just really wanna share.
So it's not all about heart, heart. 
...and christmas trees, ice skating and Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera.
The 2001 movie is not all there is to it.  But still, serendipity remains to be one of life's real magic.
