"A veces es por casualidad, más que por lógica, que descubrimos la verdad"

Umberto Eco

Simplified Meaning:

Often, we find out important things not because we carefully planned for it or thought it through, but because something unexpected happened. Imagine you are looking for your lost keys everywhere in your house with a set plan, but then you suddenly see them in a place you didn't expect, like under the couch. This clear example shows that you found the keys not by your planned searching method, but by a random glance. In history, many great discoveries happened by accident. For instance, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin when he noticed mold killing bacteria in a petri dish he hadn't cleaned properly. He wasn’t looking for it, it just happened. In our own lives, sometimes the best ideas or solutions come when we are not trying too hard, maybe when we are taking a walk or chatting with a friend. This means it’s good to stay open and pay attention to unexpected events. We can apply this by not getting too stressed if things don’t go as planned and by staying curious and open-minded because amazing truths or solutions might appear when we least expect them.
