The Future

"The future does not belong to those who are content with today, apathetic toward common problems and their fellow man alike, timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas. Rather, it will belong to those who can blend passion, reason and courage in a personal commitment to the ideals of American society."
Robert Francis Kennedy

People who are content with today are happy living in the gilded cage of their comfort zone. People who are apathetic towards their fellow man and the problems they share, are not motivated to accomplish anything significant. People who are timid and fearful in the face of bold projects and new ideas are not going to take any risks; they aren't going to try anything new. All those characteristics add up to people who will not change the world. They will live in the past.

A person who is going to change the world must be committed to it. They must be passionate enough to step out of their comfort zone. They must be courageous enough to risk doing something new and different. And they must have the intelligence and wisdom to know that to do, and come up with a plan of how they are going to do it.
These are the people who will change the world. These are the people who the future belongs to. Will you be one of them?
