The condition of all development is not to be content with the present, but to have the courage to ask how everything can be made better and the good fortune to find a right answer to this question in thought or in action.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Human development thus far has been fueled and guided by the feeling that things could be, and are probably going to be, better.
The power for creating a better future is contained in the present moment: You create a good future by creating a good present.
Part of creating is understanding that there is always more to do; nothing is ever completely finished.
We can't expect the world to get better by itself. We have to create something we can leave the next generation.
The silly question is the first intimation of some totally new development.
No one doubts the enormity of the social challenges we face around the world but one critical element of our response must be the generation of new thinking and ideas. Yet creating the conditions that make this possible is not simple.
To have a stable economy, to have a stable democracy, and to have a modern government is not enough. We have to build new pillars of development. Education, science and technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, and more equality.
We are built to conquer environment, solve problems, achieve goals, and we find no real satisfaction or happiness in life without obstacles to conquer and goals to achieve.
The root of this possibility of doing good - that we all have - is in creation.
Times change. Every generation has a new set of problems. Human nature is unmoved.
