Unexpected Happens

More From John Motson

It is a simple matter to see the obvious, to do the expected. the tendency of the individual life is to be static rather than dynamic, and this tendency is made into a propulsion by civilization, where the obvious only is seen, and the unexpected rarely happens. when the unexpected does happen, however, and when it is of sufficiently grave import, the unfit perish. they do not see what is not obvious, are unable to do the unexpected, are incapable of adjusting their well-grooved lives to other and strange grooves. in short, when they come to the end of their own groove, they die.

[in the case of research director, willis r. whitney, whose style was to give talented investigators as much freedom as possible, you may define "serendipity" as] the art of profiting from unexpected occurrences. when you do things in that way you get unexpected results. then you do something else and you get unexpected results in another line, and you do that on a third line and then all of a sudden you see that one of these lines has something to do with the other. then you make a discovery that you never could have made by going on a direct road.

Why does one want to walk wings? why force one's body from a plane to make a parachute jump? why should man want to fly at all? people often ask these questions. but what civilization was not founded on adventure, and how long could one exist without it? some answer the attainment of knowledge. some say wealth, or power, is sufficient cause. i believe the risks i take are justified y the sheer love of the life i lead.
