Abstract:

Although the ability to make the best use of accidental discoveries, or serendipity, is one of the most important factors in making great leaps in research and development, such breakthroughs are accomplished only after unexpected opportunities have occurred. Most of our senior colleagues have told us that to experience such opportunities we should maintain a steady interest in our goals and undertake experiments with our own hands. In this paper, the author presents another viewpoint. Always write and present your work with a view to inspiring others to react. Some of the resulting reactions may provide you with unexpected opportunities. This idea is derived from a three-way classification of the unexpected chances that occurred during my fiber fuse research including my self-archiving activity that led to unexpected responses via the Internet.
