1 What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’ words at the end of the passage
You cannot make sense of your life by looking forward, because the future has not happened yet, and the meaning of future events is therefore uncertain. However, once future events have occurred, you may be able to see how they fit into the pattern of your life. Things which you did not expect to be important may turn out to be very important. You must face the future by believing that everything will work out in the end, and that your life will make sense and have meaning.
“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.”
Think & share

Starting out
Watch the video and answer the questions.
1 Who is mentioned in the video What decisions did he make
Lu Xun. When he was 15, traditional Chinese medicine failed to cure his father’s illness, so he made a decision to study Western medicine and become a doctor. But later, he made a decision to abandon his medical studies and take up writing.
2 Why did he change his decision
Because he realised that people in China were more in need of treatment for their minds than their bodies. The most important thing, in his mind, was to change people’s spirit, and the best way to achieve this was through literature.
