We’re Just Beginning
“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite.”
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the
future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and
carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a
shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.
If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all,
we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes
and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because
that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and
dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes
and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress
in every field of human endeavor.
