I like the story─connecting the dots in Steve Jobs’ Talk. He was lucky the he found
what he loved to do early in life. He had dropped out and decided to take a
calligraphy class, and 10 years later, he used it to design the first Macintosh
computer, he might never think that he would needed in the future. I also think
that I’d never need the thing I learned now in the future sometimes. But after
reading this talk, I know that maybe I will need someday, somewhere later. Just
like he said: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect
them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect
in your future.” It's inspired me a lot!
