Quote of the Day

“The best way to predict the future is to create it yourself.”

— Abraham Lincoln (possibly Peter Drucker)

I've run across this quote often, but tonight, I felt the need to really spend time with it. It's such a simple idea, but incredibly profound. That's what makes it such an effective message. Who owns the future, as Jaron Lanier asks critically? I do.
