- Prediction is very difficult, especially of the future. (Niels Bohr)

- If the earth does grow inhospitable toward human presence, it is primarily because we have lost our sense of courtesy toward the earth and its inhabitants. (Thomas Berry)

- Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. (John F. Kennedy)
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.
