S-e-r-e-n-d-i-p-i-t-y

I had no idea what the word meant until I looked it up in the Oxford English, ‘the occurrence of events by chance in a fortunate way’.
Origin: coined by the English politician Horace Wolpole, from Serendip(a former name for Sri Lanka).
Good to hear BootsnAll members are getting all the luck.

I am one of those new members who used the word, and while it is a favorite of mine, the application actually prompts us with that word which could explain the frequent usage. I must contend that it is a delightful thing to let serendipity guide your travels. It is amazing the events, people, sights, and things you encounter that serve to enrich not only the experience, but you as a person. And, everyday holds the delectable joy of surprise to accompany the wonder of exploration. Try it! I wouldn’t have it any other way!

If you want another good word, try “maximax”

Its part of game theory. It means that if you are given a number of choices of actions, but you do not know the probablitiy to success with any individual action, you should choose the action which gives you the best result… basically: Go for it.

Ok Chris, if I see anyone with the word “maximax” on their app, I’ll approve them, if only because they read enough of the Bootblog to know to use that word
