The Alchemy of Accidents

Distillation Mishap

Ingredients: One pot of optimism, two cups of mediocrity, and a sprig of overconfidence.

Method:

  1. Start with a gentle simmer of enthusiasm.
  2. Gradually mix in the mediocrity, stirring counter-clockwise — because the universe has a sense of symmetry.
  3. Add overconfidence until the mixture bubbles vigorously and begins spontaneously narrating its life story.
  4. If the pot starts dancing, you've succeeded! (Or perhaps failed spectacularly.)

Warning: Using excessive ambition can result in unforeseen explosions.
