1. "The future is already here —
it's just not very evenly distributed"
- William Gibson, science fiction writer

20. Again, you can't connect the dots
looking forward; you can only connect
them looking backwards. So you have to
trust that the dots will somehow
connect in your future.You have to trust
in something — your gut, destiny, life,
karma, whatever. This approach has
never let me down, and it has made all
the difference in my life.
- Steve Jobs
22. Examine innovators + early adopters
Look in the four directions of change
Ask, “Does this change life and/or
consumption as we know it?”
Study pipeline change occurring now
Take the future for a test drive
Talk to people who make great things
Connect the dots going forward
