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.
Simple Civilization Adjusting
We must be listened to: above and beyond our personal experience, we have collectively witnessed a fundamental unexpected event, fundamental precisely because unexpected, not foreseen by anyone. it happened, therefore it can happen again: this is the core of what we have to say. it can happen, and it can happen everywhere.

[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.

Teaching is a very effective way to get children to learn something specific - this tube squeaks, say, or a squish then a press then a pull causes the music to play. but it also makes children less likely to discover unexpected information and to draw unexpected conclusions.

Now what kind of an attitude is that, 'these things happen?' they only happen because this whole country is just full of people who, when these things happen, they just say, 'these things happen,' and that's why they happen! we gotta have control of what happens to us.

Regardless of your age, you will always have adventures, unexpected joys and unexpected sorrows.

Similar Quotes
Science, freedom, beauty, adventure: what more could you ask of life? aviation combined all the elements i loved. there was science in each curve of an airfoil, in each angle between strut and wire, in the gap of a spark plug or the color of the exhaust flame. there was freedom in the unlimited horizon, on the open fields where one landed. a pilot was surrounded by beauty of earth and sky. he brushed treetops with the birds, leapt valleys and rivers, explored the cloud canyons he had gazed at as a child. adventure lay in each puff of wind.

Whenever i finish a book, i go off and have some kind of adventure. having had an adventure in my writing chair or on my writing sofa, an internal adventure, then i need to balance that off with an external adventure, so i'll go tramping through africa or whitewater rafting or float to hawaii in a martini shaker or something.

For there is only one great adventure and that is inward toward the self, and for that, time nor space nor even deeds matter.
