My beloved readers,
It
may sound weird to you when I put up this kind of title doesn't it? I mean who
can see the future right? Heh, well actually, to be frank. We all can see the
future. We cannot see others future or what is going to happen in the next second,
but we can see our own future. They say that we cannot see the future for it
can be changed. Therefore, I am telling you this. I challenge whoever says that
we cannot see the future with this sentence: "If we cannot see the future
then why are we planning for it?"
If
we cannot see the future, then why should we plan for the future? Why do they
say that the seed we plant today is the seed of the future? If we are not
seeing the future, then what are we doing now? If you were to ask me, "How
do we see the future?" I can give you the answer very quickly and assure
you that it is something that we do in our everyday life. Unless, of course you
are not thinking what is going to happen when you do something.
We
can see the future by thinking about the future. By looking at the future's
point of view. By placing ourselves ahead of time and think about what will
happen when we do something. The future can be next year, month, day, hour,
minute even second. It can be anytime. As long as it is not gone, then it means
that it is still there. You may not know what is going to happen next or when
you are going to be in another place, but somehow, you can make your way to
that future. Do you get what I mean?
It
may sound complicated so let me give you an example. Let's take students as an
example. We study and as a student body, I know that other than study we do
revisions as well to make sure that we understand and remember what we have
learnt. Why? We study to prepare us for test that we are going to have for
mid-year and end of the year exams. And of course in between we have monthly
tests. Why do we have to have these tests? To help us remember what we have
learnt and get it into our brains. Why do we need to remember all these things?
So that we can use it as basics in the society and get into a field of jobs
that we are interested in doing.
Now,
how does all these relate to seeing the future? Let me explain. We study the
basics in school so we know how to apply it in our future jobs that we are
going to apply to. School is just the basement of everything. It is our baby
steps into life. And life? It is out there in the future. That is when we learn
how to run without falling down. When we do fall down, we have to learn how to
get back up on our own. Make sense now? Even just a little bit? Okay. Moving on…
Now
that we are planning our future, that means we are already looking at our
future. We are setting up a goal in front of us and we are planning to go
towards it. Therefore, we are already looking at our future. The future.
