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
