And it is just this combinatorial skill — the ability to combine events or observations in meaningful ways — that differentiates serendipity from luck. Serendipity is to see meaningful combinations where others do not.
What is an example of serendipity?
Serendipity is when someone accidently finds something good. An example of serendipity is finding a twenty dollar bill in the pocket of a coat you haven't worn in awhile.
How does serendipity happen?
A combination of events which are not individually beneficial, but occurring together produce a good or wonderful outcome. Serendipity is often portrayed as just luck—a happy accident that occurs at random. There is a case however, that by having a prepared mind, you will be likely to find more of it.
