Increasing Serendipity Surface Leads to Opportunities
People who appear luckier have increased their serendipity surface by putting themselves out there and collecting stepping stones, making it more likely for chance to happen. The concept of serendipity is not random as evidenced by the list of serendipitous inventions by accomplished individuals. Smart and accomplished individuals have more opportunities to be exposed to serendipitous events, indicating that serendipity is not a random process. This insight challenges the belief that the world operates randomly and suggests that there is potential to actively influence serendipitous events.
