The future is somewhat predictable. The future is the fruits of the seeds sown today. Good seeds today, good fruits tomorrow. All the First World countries like the USA and UK are where they are because of the sweat, tears and sometimes blood of theirs ancestors. Their leaders took absolute responsibility of building the future they envisioned and it is a reality today. O, how their younger generation is enjoying today?
The Palm Islands of the UAE for example, is not only phenomenal, but it's impact on the minds of the young citizens of the UAE is a more valuable asset than the islands themselves. Not only will they be inspired to accomplish extraordinary feats, they will dare the impossible.
Always blossom where you are, being mindful of the generation coming. No matter how big or small your contribution to the society is, put in your best. Be an inspiration to the young around you. Take out time to teach. Invest your resources to make sure they do much better than what you did your lifetime. You will definitely be more fulfilled that way.
God bless!
