1. “When all else is lost, the future still remains.” — even if everything goes wrong, there is still hope and a chance to start again. Yes, there are similar sayings in my language, for example: “Hope dies last.”

2. “You can never plan the future by the past.” — you should not rely only on past experience when making plans, because the future can be different. A similar saying in my language is: “You cannot live in the past.”

3. “I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them.” — computers are useful, and the real problem is when people do not have access to them. For example, at school I once had to prepare a presentation, and without a computer it would have been much harder and slower to do the work.
