Why this blog is named connecting dots?

In childhood, I was fond of the game Connect the dots. It seems magic to me that drawing lines between numbered dots gradually reveals the actual shape hidden behind. Sometimes it's tough to predict what you will arrive at simply by looking at the outline of the unconnected dots and therefore finishing the game always brings me surprise and excitement.

As I grew older, I thought about the ultimate philosophical questions: Who am I? Where am I heading? Reading lots of biographies did not offer me a satisfactory answer, as I found that most of the time, people aren't quite sure where they will be taken to by their actions.

It struck me one day that life is just like the game I enjoyed in my childhood. Finishing school, completing projects, and entering a relationship are all actions that create a 'dot' on the canvas of our life. It is not until some point in life when we look back, that we see a clear picture of our past by connecting the 'dots' we created.

Therefore, I named my blog after my favourite childhood game to record the dots I made in my life and remind me to constantly review where these dots may take me.
