It is my firm belief that I have a link with the past and a responsibility to the future. I cannot give up. I cannot despair. There's a whole future, generations to come. I have to keep trying.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To some degree we all live with uncertainty. We have no control over the future. Yet we carry on, we persevere, because, I guess, it's the way we're made.
When your future arrives, will you blame your past?
I felt cheated by the way grown-ups told me that the future of the world was bleak when I became a teenager in the 1970s. The pollution explosion was unstoppable. Global famine was inevitable. I genuinely want the next generation, my own kids, to know that actually it's possible that the future might be better than the past.
I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.
I'm concerned with the future. I'm concerned with my life, my present, my friends, people I love, people who love me. I have no intention of taking on a legacy that wasn't bestowed on me.
For time and the world do not stand still. Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
You've got to embrace the future. You can whine about it, but you've got to embrace it.
I really don't spend time thinking about the past. I think about the future. I'm not stopping.
People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I've got my faults, but living in the past is not one of them. There's no future in it.
Create your future from your future not your past.
