17. The Future is how we prepare it
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
