I’ve been doing this a long time, and I’ve come to learn that predictions don’t mean much. Too much lies outside the realm of medical knowledge. A lot of what happens next comes down to you and your specific genetics, your attitude. No, there’s nothing we can do to stop the inevitable, but that’s not the point. The point is that you should try to make the most of the time you have left. Nicholas Sparks
About This Quote

The quote above discusses the fact that predicting the future is difficult and is often incorrect. Even with all of the advances in medical science, no one is able to know what will happen in the near future. Therefore, it is important to enjoy life while you are alive and try to be happy with what you have (and who you have). This is something that most people fail to do.

They spend most of their time focusing on what they don’t have or what they can’t control. Such people are always waiting for the end of their lives in misery. It is important to live in the moment when you can (because nobody knows how long life will last) and make the most of each day
