To thrive in this new age of hyper-change and growing uncertainty, it is now an imperative to learn a new competency — how to accurately anticipate the future.
God has a plan for the future and, because He is sovereign, it will come to pass. You can count on it!
Our children may learn about the heroes of the past. Our task is to make ourselves the architects of the future.
The present is what is happening when you strip away all the resentments of your past and all the worries you have about your future.

Dave McFly: [kissing George McFly on the head] See you later, Pop. Whoo! Time to change that oil.
Biff Tannen: I have your car towed all the way to your house and all you got for me is lite beer? [chuckles]
George McFly: You really think I ought to swear? Marty McFly: Yes, definitely. Goddamn it, George, swear.
Marty McFly: Okay. Time circuit's on. Flux capacitor, fluxing. Engine running. All right. [the engine stops suddenly]
I am an optimist. Anyone interested in the future has to be otherwise he would simply shoot himself.
