We can see and shape our future

Do you wish to be able to predict the future? To some people, such an idea seems absurd. They believe that people are products of their time—that we live in the present and solve problems as they arise. When they weigh the chance of certain future events affecting an individual, a nation or mankind, they see them as a random occurrence—unknowable, unpredicted, coming out of nowhere, and only fully understood in hindsight. They are mistaken. If you accept this mindset, be prepared to be blindsided by competitors, attacked by invaders, or forced up against challenges you previously ignored. 

Though they are largely unaware of it, most people do try to forecast the future every day. Our important actions and decisions are linked to the hope that our choices will have a positive impact for us. Similarly, every important policy a nation makes is linked to the expectation that it will lead to national progress and prosperity. We need to develop a predictive awareness, knowing where to look and what to do for our future benefit. By learning to predict trends and using sound strategies, we will be ready for the future.
