Why Steve Jobs Succeeded
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, because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart – even when it leads you off the well worn path, and that will make all the difference. In other words, Jobs believed in designing for people. The failures–even the failures with huge bank accounts–calculate the ROI before dreaming, live without daring, and die without meaning. Steve Jobs’ legacy isn’t in a portfolio–it’s in billions of pockets, on billions of desks.
