What is serendipity

 Serendipity is a noun that describes the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way1. It’s often associated with finding something good without looking for it, like a fortunate stroke of luck or a happy accident. The term was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754, inspired by the fairy tale “The Three Princes of Serendip,” where the heroes make discoveries by accidents and sagacity of things they were not in quest of2. It’s a concept that captures the beauty of unexpected joy and the delight of discovering something wonderful by chance.
