1. What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’s 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.
