Life can only be understood backwards

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."
Soren_Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

Reminds me of Steve Jobs speech during 2005 Stanford Commencement.
You can only connect the dots by looking backwards.

A lot of times, I can't comprehend fully the purpose behind the things I do daily. Why must I continue on to do daily chores that aren't going to bring any changes to the world and knowing the fact that we are all going to die anyway someday.

But, these quotes reminds me that, someday, when we look backwards, we will understand the significance of  those little-little-things-that-we-do-everyday.
