Accidents
One of my students had taken a photo and really liked the image, however, dismissed the image because it was an accident and therefore not valid. My reply was, "that there are many kids in this world who are accidents, however, still delights (and great accomplishments) to their parents. Many of the great advances in human civilization are the result of pure accident and their discovery is rewarded with a prize. Learn to appreciate and accept the accidents that come your way.
