^What if the painter had known that he would succeed in nothing with his graffiti?
Those who are interested to foresee your future, please raise your hand. There is one. There is another. Okay, I saw you. Okay. There you go. Any more? Oh, you, yes. Now, please put down your hands and lend me your ears.
Here is a tip from Nevin: don't you ever try to foresee your future. Don't even peek. If you do, you'll be suffocated.
^A smiling face anticipating a bright future?
If you know there is a very bright future waiting for you, do you start from this day making sure that in everything you do, you do it right to prepare for the bright future? Or you don't care much about anything really because what is ahead of you is a bright future anyway?
^What if he had known that he would earn lots of money gambling on the equity market?
Otherwise, if you know troubles and bad lucks are in stock for you, and now that you've an advanced knowledge of them, do you start from this very day doing all you can to avoid them? Or you don't care much about anything really because when a life is doomed, it is doomed?
You'll be suffocated by the destination to which, in fact, the journey should be much more valued. The destination of your life made known prematurely will just ruin your mood along the journey, suffocate your creativity and make every day unbearably long to you.
^What if he had known that in a second a bus would run over him?
I'd say most of us who know our future, and in some point of time we can rightly reckon the future to a certain extent, will somehow lose the impetus pushing us ahead. After all, when fate has spoken, what can you do to reply?
^Being old doesn't mean being at an age without future. Imagination takes place in the minds of all people regardless of age. Imagination pushes the future wider.
We are not saying that don't look forward to the future. To the contrary, plan for it. Just don't jump to a conclusion or listen to the rumours about it. It is an adventurous journey that gives a life fun.
So, with reference to cameras, we do need more camera makers who don't do business just by foreseeing the future (conclusion). It is the adventurous out-of-the-box thinking that breathes life into something which may do a quantum leap in advancing the photographic technology. Even if it falls, we have at least seen an imagination come true.
Imagine. Don't foresee.
