Is the FUTURE certain? No, it is not. What is certain is the PRESENT. POWER in the PRESENT and CHANGE in the FUTURE.

What will the future be like? No one knows the answer to that question. All we know is that the effects that will appear in the future are all contained in the causes that are made in the present. The important thing, therefore, is that we stand up and take action to achieve great objectives without allowing ourselves to be distracted or discouraged by immediate difficulties.
