Serendipity

The word serendipity itself comes from Horace Walpole, who wrote that the main characters in “The Three Princes of Serendip” were “always making discoveries, by accident and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of.” We seem to have no trouble remembering the accident part of chance findings, but the second part is worth repeating: a successful discovery lies just not in the unexpectedness of what we find, but in our ability to make sense of it and connect it to what we already know.

Favorite pastime

Sometimes she would sit and feel.. That used to be her favorite pastime.
And sometimes she overdid feeling so much that no words could contain the extent of her passion. Then her eyes would speak. 

Possibilities

The proud surrender. That's love. She'd surrendered but with trepidation. Nothing came out of it though. Luckily. The possibilities in life intimidated her sometimes and all then she wanted to do was run and hide. How do you deal with myriad of possibilities? 

“reason is, and ought to be, only the slave of the passion”- Hume

"This is not meekness, be assured; I do not come naturally by meekness."

The letter. 

Power

I have no power over you that you don't give me, and you have no power over me that I don't give you. … Your greatest creation is yourself. Like any great work of art, creating a great self means putting in hard work, every day, for years.

- Vi Hart

The Lottery

"When people are part of a group, they often experience deindividuation, or a loss of self-awareness. When people deindividuate, they are less likely to follow normal restraints and inhibitions and more likely to lose their sense of individual identity."

"Twice makes a tradition."
