"The future belongs not to those who wait."?

Question

what is your opinion on this quote and do you agree with it? please expound your answers.

Answer 1

This counters the proverb, "All things (or good things) come to those who wait."  To understand this proverb you must add, " There are no secrets to those who love."  When you enter into something with love, you are shown how it will come out. Another way of saying it is to let go of your ego for God's will.

Those who think we have to "go out and get what we want" have not surrendered their ego will to God's will.  

Answer 2

If you wait for something, then whats the point of your future if you already know it?...

Nice One xD

Answer 3

I agree with the statement to this extent:  the longer you can postpone a decision, the more information you have to make it with.  But this concept can't be a rationale for procrastination -- considering all the angles, then doing nothing.  The future really belongs to those who prepare for it.

Answer 4

The future doesn't belong to those who wait. People who control their futures are those who make tomorrow, today. I agree with the quote but I believe this Utopian~Marxist idealistic dream of "patience" and "success" has plagued the minds of many, only to realize later on that their very patience has caused them to remove their eyes from potential opportunities, time wasted and a life remaining in a rat race. We are living in a Capitalistic society...Capitalism doesn't have time for those who simply wait and hope. Have you ever seen a lion in the Serengeti simply waiting for a zebra to cross its path before it decides to attack? What good is it if one procrastinates and even worse, rationalize the misdemeanor they have done.
