Magic happens in cross of unrelated things

My nephew asked me should I do double degree of law and art or computer science and electronics! Two of the most related things?

“I think you should do two completely unrelated things like computer science and psychology, or nursing and civil engineering.”

She paused and when saw my serious face asked: really?

Yes! I learned in a hard way that magic happens in unrelated things.

This happens because our minds are naturally wired to look for patterns and connections. when you study two unrelated things, your brain naturally tries to bridge them. This is where innovation happens. 

When two unrelated discipline or idea combine, they can create something new, unexpected, and even transformative. This is the foundation of creativity, innovation, and even scientific discovery.
