"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."What would life be like if we didn't look to the future? Well, you would dwell on things that happened in the past and present and you would not know what would happen in the future good or bad. We have to accept things and move on with our lives. I have been in the situation where I only thought about what happened in the past and what was currently happening in the present. I didn't think about what my future was to hold. I missed alot of opportunities that my future had held for me at that time. So you have to think about if you want to stay in the past, present or look to the future.
John F. Kennedy definitely looked to the future. Not too long before the United States went into World War II, he joined the U.S. Navy. In 1943 he was on active duty in the Pacific, he was in charge of a boat named "PT 109" which was sunk by the Japanese. Kennedy rescued his crew, while doing so he cause an old back injury to flair up and he contracted malaria. During his illness he wrote a book on biographical studies of American political heroes. The title was "Profiles in Courage" and was published in 1956. It won a Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1957.
