I think you summed it up pretty well. The post started with the idea of "how to find cofounders" as one of the most difficult things founders deal with. I'm challenging the notion that you have to be out there and aggressive about it; instead, take your time with it and allow serendipity to work in your favor. It's a different way of thinking and hopefully something biz students will try out (keep in mind, the main audience for my book is high school and college students).
There's also the idea of negative circumstances happening to you which may end up being positive (back to the serendipity theme). The point of this is to try and show people who are in seemingly negative situations that it could turn out very well for them (Steve Jobs reference to connecting the dots). Bad things happen to good people, but luck still has a big role to play, and sometimes it might be beneficial to experiment here: pause your agenda and just go make some friends and be normal instead of trying to control everything. See if it works out better.
