^^Don’t look for the precise and the local. Simply, do not be narrow-minded. The great discoverer Pasteur, who came up with the notion that chance favors the prepared, understood that you do not look for something particular every morning but work hard to let contingency enter your working life.
Taleb, Nassim. The Black Swan (p. 208). Penguin Books Ltd. Kindle Edition. ^^
Work hard without bigger expectations to "find something"—i.e., ship stuff, bring the metaphysical into the physical, do versus think, experiment versus theoretize—and let reality serendipity enter your daily life.
