Q1: What is your understanding of “take a leaf out of the books”
Q2: What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’ words
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.

Q1: What is your understanding of “take a leaf out of the books”
Q2: What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’ words
You cannot make sense of your life by looking forward, because the future has not happened yet, so everything 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 must face the future by believing that everything will work out in the end, and that your life will make sense.
What we went through in the past can be connected with our future.
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.
--- Steve Jobs

2.What can you learn about facing the future from the two authors
Though both of these men were ultimately successful, their paths to success were very different. From them, we know that our futures may not necessarily turn out exactly as we plan. So whatever twists and turns we might encounter, take a leaf out of the books of the two authors and be prepared for the future.
Let’s share the spirit and encourage each other
Man is not made for defeat, a man can be destroyed but not defeated.
If you want to conquer the world, you have to conquer yourself.
-----Ernest Hemingway
