Being ready to find what you didn't know you were looking for.

---

I pass by our community library quite frequently. I even enter it and browse the shelves, though I rarely take out a book. It was, I suppose, pure luck, and/or coincidence, that caused me to find this particular book at this particular time. But you've got to be prepared - even for coincidence. In other words, in different circumstances, had I opened that particular book to that particular page, and even reacted with that particular feeling of embarrassment for once thinking that this was heavy stuff, I probably wouldn't have noticed that hidden within the text was an additional example of a pick and choose approach to technology.
