Below we see what NATIONAL TODAY says.
Serendipity is the emergence and development of events by chance.
Serendipity is the capacity to make intriguing discoveries by chance.
Serendipity is also described as a happy accident or a pleasant surprise. Serendipity Day is celebrated to encourage people to confront unexpected good fortune.
Below we see what Wikipedia has to say.
Serendipity is an unplanned fortunate discovery. The term was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754.[1]
The concept is often associated with scientific and technological breakthroughs, where accidental discoveries led to new insights or inventions. Many significant discoveries in history were serendipitous, including penicillin, Post-it notes, Popsicles, and the microwave oven, arising from unforeseen circumstances that were then recognized and capitalized upon.

Below is a really, REALLY, great Poem.
Don’t Quit
John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-1892)
When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is strange with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns
And many a failure comes about
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell just how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
