The Game of Dots as played by Steve Jobs

My Father travels a lot. Every time he returns home he would have a lot of magazines with him. I would flip through them for the pictures and the designs.

One such magazine had a re-print of the speech Steve Jobs gave to the graduates of Stanford University in 2005.

Steve Jobs

In his address, he shares three stories.

One of the story is about connecting the dots. Sometimes I have wondered why some things happen in my life. I believe many of you will also have had experiences that you cannot explain.

Steve Jobs says:

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.

The speech is a lot inspiring and its perfect. Read it or watch the video.
