The author aims to maintain the reader’s interest by using this figure of speech (修辞手法), and perhaps to end with a lighter note by using a pun.

Think & Share
What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’s words at the end of the passage
“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 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.
What will you do to prepare yourself for the future
Emotional intelligence (EQ)
Judgment and decision making
Interpersonal communication skills
Embracing change
Critical thinking
Creative thinking
