Connect the Dots

Connecting the Dots [EF#5]


Bismillaah…

Connect the Dots
Connect the Dots

Some said our life is just like connecting the dots. Whether we want it or not, we need to get moving from one point to another. And we know that everyone has their own style of defining those movements. By any means, such as direct jump to the higher level of competency, parallelly as an opportunities taker, or by using any positive step by step enhancements to get a better foothold, gradually.

The acts itself may vary. It depends on most of our living conditions and our educational backgrounds. Moreover, it may differ based on experience and mental intelligence of its stakeholder. From here on, the social factors automatically will follow then. We meet people. We communicate with them. And then we are connecting our dots, each other.

Do the best

From my point of view, we ourselves can not predict our own future. Not even one second ahead. So then, it is a kind of useless when we try to look forward about our dots. It is not possible. We may put some plans on the table. We may create some priority list. It is OK, it shall seem like that. But the main important thing is we need to do the best of anything we can do. Because we never know what the best scenario that suits us better. That is truly the art.

“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

BEC

If I may say, one of the big dots I have ever met recently is BEC (Blog English Club). To be honest, I have met some great people here. As far as I know, they have amazing visions. They share valuable viewpoint to others without hesitation. And they have a strong desire to move forward. Sometimes, I feel envy with any of them. But, here we are, thanks to this BEC group admins and mentors so I can learn a lot about anything valuable, especially on English writing matters. With 100 people and more joining this group, I think it is a fine and rare opportunity to make our dots connected. So, bravo to all of you. Hope we can match our dots here.

  5. A very good and encouraging post. But I do wonder whose dots will I be connecting to? :eh
    I also recognized that you changed your theme, didn’t you?
    I kinda like this theme better because it makes the posts easier to read (it’s just an opinion, though…)

    1. Yes, that is one of actual terms of connecting the dots. So we can create any shapes (line, pattern, or whatever it is called) to connect each dots and it will become a “big picture” of our ideals. Anaknya pinter kyknya ya… Hehe… you’re welcome mb Andin. Tetap semangat yak 😀
