Most of us may have listened Steve Jobs's famous Standford speech about "connect the dots " . In this speech, Steve Jobs took a look back in his life and beautifully connected the dots ... No doubt , we all see back about our past events at regular intervals and this looking back brings lot of emotions . These emotions may vary lot .....They can be pride or shame , winning or loosing , encouraging or frustrating , forgiveness or vengeance , happy or painful , innocence or guilt etc etc ...
So , when you are confused about some situation .. Just make a small story in 1-2 line and sit in the time machine for free ride to couple of years ahead . Repeat the story and observe what emotion this story creates ..Come back and try to choose a path ... It really helps in dealing with those situation when there is NO clear consequence or things are not absolute .......Moreover , one get inspiration to stick with decision as there is commitment to a person who is no other but oneself only ( little bit older though :( ) .....
My ex- mentor told me this recently .. For clear consequence type situation , we apply this trick implicitly ( Like studying for exams , working for promo etc ) ..... For hazy situation , we may like to apply this trick explicitly... I did it for a recent situation and it helped me lot .. Thought to share with you guys .... I think most of you may already knowing this ....:) .. It seems that I forgot it :)
