I used to think of serendipity as an excuse for people who just give up what they wanted just because they don't have the guts to fight for it until the end. They can simply quit and say, "hey, i just don't have the serendipity with this thing, might as well stop fighting with fate." But as time goes by, I think of serendipity as more than an excuse for quitters, but also a very amusing phenomenon. I think serendipity is a form of coincidence that happens for a reason. We can call it fate. There are things in life we cannot control, but instead of using serendipity as an excuse, we should allow for serendipity and take it into account when we encounter a coincidence. In this way, we could be happier to witness a coincidence than feeling nothing at all. Personally I believe serendipity is an amazing thing. Yes, there are times in my life I wished fate could rearrange the times and places I could have been at. But mostly I thank serendipity for bringing all that I have encountered in life. I believe it brings me good causes and challenges. I believe things happen for a reason, serendipity or not.
