For many of us, it’s something we already have experienced. One moment, we are lying comfortably in bed, about to fall into a deep sleep. The next, our eyes are open and we find ourselves wondering or even worrying about possibly the most important issue of our lives – the future. Will we get into the school of our choice? What will we be doing in ten years’ time? Can we become the person we really want to be? In the face of such questions, how should we approach the future? Can we take action to shape it, or should we just accept whatever comes our way. What is possibly the most important concern in life? Read para 1 What’s the intention of para1 according to author ? To introduce the topic To attract readers’ interest As many of us already know, having plans in place for the future is no guarantee that they will become reality. In this respect, some people are more fortunate than others, as can be illustrated by comparing the lives of two famous authors, born 40 years apart. Although they shared the same ambitious and energetic approach to life, their careers unfolded in contrasting ways. What is author’s perspective? How did the author present his opinion?

So, whatever twists and turns you might encounter, take a leaf out of the book of these two authors and prepare for the unexpected. What is your understanding of Steve Jobs’s words? “As renowned tech innovator Steve Jobs once said, “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.” The choice you’ve made Your experiences What do “the dots” refer to? “As renowned tech innovator Steve Jobs once said, “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.” What do “the dots” refer to? 你无法预见性地将生命中的点滴串联起来，只有在回头看时，你才会发现这些点滴之间的联系。所以你要坚信，你现在所经历的，将在你未来的生命中串联起来。 Think and Share What Is Success? — Redefining "Success" When facing the future, what Mindset should we have toward the future? If you could look back two years from now, what do you hope you will have done? Think and Share What Is Success? — Redefining "Success" Success is not a single standard. It could be achieving your plan (Hemingway), becoming famous by accident but feeling dissatisfied (Conan Doyle), or finding meaning through constant adjustment (the most realistic path for ordinary people). Think and Share When facing the future, what Mindset should we have toward the future? 1. Embrace Uncertainty Hemingway did not predict he would win the Nobel Prize. Conan Doyle did not predict that Sherlock Holmes would make him lose control of his own writing life. 2. Keep Taking Action Even if you're unsure about the future, every step you take today is planting a dot for tomorrow. 3. Look Back with Understanding and Acceptance What seems like a "failure" or a "deviation" today may become a different kind of success in the long run. Think and Share If you could look back two years from now, what do you hope you will have done? You can have goals, but you don't have to follow every step exactly as planned. You can feel lost, but don't stop taking action. You can look back, but don't regret the choices you made. What really matters is not who you finally become, but whether you take every "today" seriously as you walk toward the future. 1. find + oneselves + doing 2. in the face of 3. come one’s way 4. doing sth. 5. in this respect 6.
