Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That’s it. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first

6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months before I really quit.

Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I could stop taking the required

classes that didn’t interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms. I returned Coke bottles

for the 5 cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk seven miles across town every

Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And

much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be

priceless later on. Here’s one example : Reed College offered perhaps the best calligraphy

instruction in the country. Because I had to take a calligraphy class, I learned about serif

and san serif typefaces, about what makes great typography great.

Ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all

came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. If I had never dropped in on that

course in college the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or for that matter even

proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied Mac, it’s likely no personal

computer would have them. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking

forward when I was in college. But it was very clear looking backwards 10 years later.

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 some things - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me

down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
