"Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him"

This quote by Dwight D. Eisenhower is a tip to take action and also be aggressive in life. It is a caution against complacency and laziness. It motivates us to be sensible and also brave, and also to take control of our own destiny. It suggests that we need to not be content to just wait for the future to come to us, but rather to take the campaign as well as shape our very own future. It is a pointer that we need to not be material to merely approve the status quo, yet instead to aim to produce a far better future for ourselves and for those around us. It is a phone call to activity, to be wise and also brave and to take control of our own fate.
