SERENDIPITY!Spotlight:
It was serendipity that led to the discovery of America:
Columbus was looking for India.
It was serendipity that gave us Post-it Notes:
inventors tried to come up with a new use for the glue,
They had invented, that didn't stick the way they had hoped.
And some say it was serendipity that led to the discovery of tea:
Supposedly, a Chinese emperor was boiling drinking water,
When leaves from a nearby plant floated into the pot.
The word SERENDIPITY...
Was first used by Horace Walpole in a letter dated Jan. 28, 1754.
He said the word was derived from Serendip,
Part of the title of a fairy tale,
About princes who made discoveries by accident as they traveled.
