On connecting the dots

[Y]ou 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...- SJ

My first post

Last night, as I was thinking of a topic to write on, just right before I almost made a post on how one can have an online marketing degree easily, I decided to check my very first post here in Blogger. It was Steve Jobs' famous commencement speech at Stanford University. I don't know how I found that speech, but I think I was looking for a program of study so I can make good use of my free time when I'm online.

Anyway, I remember the first time I listened to that speech via Youtube... I was teary eyed. Well, for some of you who knows me personally, you know that I am a hopeless romantic person... that I am really emotional.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
