"Much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later. Again, 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. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. I had been rejected, but I was still in love And so I decided to start over".
