I agree with the quotations by Albert Einstein, Thomas Jefferson, Niels Bohr, and John F. Kennedy.
Einstein is right because it is useless to worry too much about the future: it will come anyway. Jefferson’s words are also true, because dreams about the future often inspire us and help us move forward. I agree with Niels Bohr as well, since it is really hard to predict what will happen tomorrow. Kennedy’s quotation is especially important: life is always changing, so if we think only about the past or the present, we may miss new opportunities.
I also like the idea that the future depends on our own actions. We can shape our future by working hard, making good choices, and being responsible. That is why I believe the future is not something to fear, but something to build.
