future

As with the future, it is not all at once but grain by grain that one savours the past.

she thought of the mix of kids in her class and in Melissa__ and she knew that the future could be bright. No one had tried to say she didn__ have a right to be in that school, or acted interested in who her ancestors were, but they had been interested in who she was and where she had moved from. They wanted to know what she did and wore and liked.

Why spend a thought worrying when you can invest the same thought planning a prosperous future?

Life is made of the past, present and the future. We're shaped by our past, and we're shaping our future with our present.

Hope:Belief in a bright future.

The mind would rather fret about the future or pine over the past _ so the mind can cling to its own illusion of control. But the current moment? It cannot be controlled. And what a mind can__ control, it tends to discount. Brush past ... over. It__ the battle plan of the enemy of the soul _ to keep us blind to this current moment, the one we can__ control, to keep us blind to Him, the One who controls everything.

Your future begins with your next thought.

Step into the future with focus knowing that the only way to kill your dream is trying to find another.

And the open road rolled out in front of us.

Blessed are the ignorant fools of the world, for they know not the unspeakable horrors that await us all.

Gadgetry will continue to relieve mankind of tedious jobs. Kitchen units will be devised that will prepare __utomeals,_ heating water and converting it to coffee; toasting bread; frying, poaching or scrambling eggs, grilling bacon, and so on. Breakfasts will be __rdered_ the night before to be ready by a specified hour the next morning. Communications will become sight-sound and you will see as well as hear the person you telephone. The screen can be used not only to see the people you call but also for studying documents and photographs and reading passages from books. Synchronous satellites, hovering in space will make it possible for you to direct-dial any spot on earth, including the weather stations in Antarctica. [M]en will continue to withdraw from nature in order to create an environment that will suit them better. By 2014, electroluminescent panels will be in common use. Ceilings and walls will glow softly, and in a variety of colors that will change at the touch of a push button. Robots will neither be common nor very good in 2014, but they will be in existence. The appliances of 2014 will have no electric cords, of course, for they will be powered by long- lived batteries running on radioisotopes.__H]ighways _ in the more advanced sections of the world will have passed their peak in 2014; there will be increasing emphasis on transportation that makes the least possible contact with the surface. There will be aircraft, of course, but even ground travel will increasingly take to the air a foot or two off the ground. [V]ehicles with __obot-brains_ _ can be set for particular destinations _ that will then proceed there without interference by the slow reflexes of a human driver. [W]all screens will have replaced the ordinary set; but transparent cubes will be making their appearance in which three-dimensional viewing will be possible. [T]he world population will be 6,500,000,000 and the population of the United States will be 350,000,000. All earth will be a single choked Manhattan by A.D. 2450 and society will collapse long before that!There will, therefore, be a worldwide propaganda drive in favor of birth control by rational and humane methods and, by 2014, it will undoubtedly have taken serious effect. Ordinary agriculture will keep up with great difficulty and there will be __arms_ turning to the more efficient micro-organisms. Processed yeast and algae products will be available in a variety of flavors. The world of A.D. 2014 will have few routine jobs that cannot be done better by some machine than by any human being. Mankind will therefore have become largely a race of machine tenders. Schools will have to be oriented in this direction_. All the high-school students will be taught the fundamentals of computer technology will become proficient in binary arithmetic and will be trained to perfection in the use of the computer languages that will have developed out of those like the contemporary __ortran". [M]ankind will suffer badly from the disease of boredom, a disease spreading more widely each year and growing in intensity. This will have serious mental, emotional and sociological consequences, and I dare say that psychiatry will be far and away the most important medical specialty in 2014. [T]he most glorious single word in the vocabulary will have become work! in our a society of enforced leisure.

It seems that Russia today__ominated by, and accustomed to, autocracy and empire, and lacking strong civic institutions especially after the shattering of its society by the Bolshevik Terror__s destined to be ruled by self-promoting cliques for some time yet.

What we are is not all that we may become.

This world belongs to our future generations, so we have to take utmost care of it.

As a sculptor sculpts a statue, an educator educates our future generation. Beauty depends on the creator.

People go entire lives without figuring out exactly what they want from life. You already have it, and the future you and your dad have planned out for you in going to take it away from you.

Selfishness is the unwillingness to give up your soul for the rehabilitation of your future.

Shadows go in front of you, leading into your future, and trail behind you, leaving a part of you in the past. They are clearest when we are in the light, and disappear when we lose ourselves in darkness.
