While we cannot predict the future, we will most surely live it. Every action and decision we take - or don't - ripples into the future. For the first time, we have the capability, the technology, and the knowledge to direct those ripples.

The future is fluid. Each act, each decision, and each development creates new possibilities and eliminates others. The future is ours to direct.

If we have an atom that is in an excited state and so is going to emit a photon, we cannot say when it will emit the photon. It has a certain amplitude to emit the photon at any time, and we can predict only a probability for emission; we cannot predict the future exactly.

We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.

In order to design a future of positive change, we must first become expert at changing our minds.

For all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future.
