Don Tapscott Quotes

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

I want to make smart choices.

Take hold of your future or the future will take hold of you

It is one thing to see the forward path and another to be able to take it. But it is better to have an ambitious plan than none at all.

Destiny is what we work toward. The future doesn't exist yet. Fate is for losers!

The future is not a gift: it is an achievement. Every generation helps make its own future. This is the essential challenge of the present

I'm a very thoughtful, forward-thinking, planner kind of person. I love Excel spreadsheets and five-year-plans, and I love to review every year how my New Year's resolutions went.

Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then.

I don't have that much forward planning about what I want to do next, or in the future.

Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.

You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands - your own.

I'm a very goal-oriented person in certain ways, and then in certain ways I understand that there's nothing at all that I can do about certain things. In other words, I would never set a goal that I don't have control over achieving.

How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?

I've always had a plan. Even since, maybe, 12 years old. Really.

One of the lessons of 2016 is to spend less time worrying about what will happen and more time worrying about what we want to happen.

I'm a goal-oriented person, and instead of focusing on the past, I'd rather focus on the future.

I take the path I want to take in life and do the things I'd like to succeed in.

I knew myself. I knew where I wanted to go in life. I wanted to be the very best I could be in whatever I pursued.

I am strong minded, a believer that you can make things happen if you really want it that badly.

I want people to know me for following my dreams.

I am always focusing on what I can do better for years down the line.

You always look ahead to what you'll do next.

When teachers would say, 'When you all graduate, you won't have anywhere to go' - I'm the type of person playing chess and thinking ahead. I thought that was a good question. Am I going to be winging it? I didn't want to be in that position, so I set myself up to go to college.

When I plan ahead, I don't just plan what I'm doing tomorrow. I also plan what I'm doing five years from now.

There are dreamers and there are planners; the planners make their dreams come true.
