Ideas!

     I greatly appreciate this quote, as those who practice foresight need not only to inspect trends and their implications, but must also be bold to reach toward aspirations and creativity, looking toward preferable futures rather than simply attempting to avoid undesirble futures or take advantage of present realities. These are important, but it remains true that the future belongs to the inquisitive and innovative in every domain:

“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”

Eleanor Roosevelt
