3. What does the author want to show by comparing these 2 famous writers
As many of us already know, having plans in place for the future is no guarantee that they will become reality.

Although they shared the same ambitious and energetic approach to life, their careers unfolded in contrasting ways.

After
Reading
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.
“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.”
Things which you did not expect to be important may turn out to be very important. Everything will work out in the end, and your life will make sense and have meaning.

Know what you exactly want to do or have. Be your own person, not a follower!
