“One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries.”
― A.A. Milne
When we stop searching for something, we find the best discoveries. It is something the same as love. However, even though you drag a metal detector through the beach, it is very less likely to find an unexpected treasure. These people on the list below have found their own unique ‘gems’ at the most random times and very strange places.
