Serendipi...what?

Submitted by lwacker on Thu, 10/02/2008 - 9:02am.
What a joke. Serendipity is the stuff fool's dreams of made of. According to Schwartz now if we really want to be happy we just have to sit around and wait for some "cosmic click" to fortuitously occur in our favor. Whether this actually happens, happens in a cycle of months or years people are reluctant to passively watch their lives pass them by in favor of tentatively waiting for a serendipitous moment to henceforth alter their lives from that moment on. Reality does not work like that. People who want to live in the long term will never be able to adopt Schwartz's serendipity approach successfully.
