Serendipity is the occurrence of finding something valuable or delightful when you least expect it. It’s the idea that sometimes, the best things in life come from unexpected places, and that being in the right place at the right time can lead to incredible experiences. Serendipity can take many forms, from stumbling upon a new favorite restaurant to meeting a life-changing mentor.

Being in the right place at the right time can be a powerful catalyst for change. Whether it’s discovering a new passion, meeting a life-changing mentor, or stumbling upon an incredible opportunity, serendipity can have a profound impact on our lives. By being open to new experiences, preparing for opportunity, and staying positive and curious, we can increase our chances of experiencing serendipity. So, the next

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where everything seemed to fall into place? Maybe you stumbled upon an incredible opportunity, met someone who became a lifelong friend, or simply experienced a moment of pure luck. These moments are often attributed to being in the right place at the right time. But what does it really mean to be in the right place at the right time, and how can we increase our chances of experiencing these serendipitous moments?

Research suggests that serendipity is more than just luck – it’s a combination of preparation, opportunity, and a dash of randomness. When we’re open to new experiences, we’re more likely to stumble upon new opportunities. This is because our brains are wired to recognize patterns and connections, and when we’re exposed to new information, we’re more likely to make novel connections.

    I think that Burma may hold the distinction of “most massive overhaul in driving infrastructure” thanks, some surmise, to some astrologic advice (move to the right) given to the dictator in control in 1970. I’m sure it was not nearly as orderly as Sweden – there are still public buses imported from Japan that dump passengers out into the drive lanes.

    Used Japanese cars built to drive on the Left side of the road, are shipped to Bolivia where they go through the steering-wheel switch to hide among the cars built for Right hand-side driving.

    These cars have the nickname “chutos” which means “cheap” or “of bad quality”. They’re popular mainly for their price point vs. a new car and are often used as Taxis. You may recognize a “chuto” next time you take a taxi in La Paz and sit next to the driver, where you may find a rare panel without a glove comparment… now THAT’S a chuto “chuto” ;-)

    Did the switch take place at 4:30 in the morning? Really? The picture from Kungsgatan lets me think that must have been in the afternoon.

    Many of the assertions in this piece seem to likely to be from single sources and at best only part of the picture. Sweden’s car manufacturers made cars to be driven on the right, while the country drove on the left. Really? In the UK Volvos and Saabs – Swedish makes – have been very common for a very long time, well before 1967. Is it not possible that they were made both right and left hand drive? Like, well, just about every car model mass produced in Europe and Japan, ever. Sweden changed because of all the car accidents Swedish drivers had when driving overseas. Really? So there’s a terrible accident rate amongst Brits driving in Europe and amongst lorries driven by Europeans in the UK? Really? Have you ever driven a car on the “wrong” side of the road? (Actually gave you ever been outside of the USA might be a better question). It really ain’t that hard. Hmmm. Dubious and a bit weak.
