It seems as though my father

understands me more now.
My dad sent me a speech by Steve Jobs today.
Here is an excerpt from it:

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 something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing in the dots connecting down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path and that will make all the difference.
