The same gap of communication and lack of understanding of…

The future is unknown. Thousands of years ago people predicated what the future will hold, of course many were wrong. That's the thing with the future, you never know what can happen. Each individual has his or her own plans and goals for their own future. Whether they fulfill that goal is up to them. "A goal without a plan is just a wish" You need to be prepared for your future and take everything into your own hands. What happens in the future is the effect of what people do in the…
