The first appearance of the quote is by Heraclitus (c.535 BC - 475 BC): "If you do not expect the unexpected, you will not find it; for it is hard to be sought out, and difficult".
Oscar Wilde famously re-quoted it as: "To expect the unexpected shows a thoroughly modern intellect" ("An Ideal Husband").
The above quotes are certainly true, when it comes to life the unexpected incidents can never be borne by us. As a human being we all expect things to happen so easily and immediately as our life has become so mechanical. Life itself is a mystery and there are many hurdles that we will have to come across, at this point of time we are pleased to hear some advice and suggestion. Sudden deflation, unsuccessful situations and etc. makes us feel that we are lost.
its easier to say to expect the unexpected..the real truth is we draw a boundary for ourselves not to get affected by having a good job,life,materialistic things and so on...but still we get hurt.. there is gain only when there is pain for pain is also part of life...nobody thinks when there is pain there is gain and miss to appreciate the present..live life day by day...
