{"quotes":[{"text":"Have you ever played Maximum Happy Imagination?'Sounds like a Japanese game show.'Kat straightens her shoulders. 'Okay, we're going to play. To start, imagine the future. The good future. No nuclear bombs. Pretend you're a science fiction writer.'Okay: 'World government... No cancer... Hover-boards.'Go further. What's the good future after that?'Spaceships. Party on Mars.'Further.'Star Trek. Transporters. You can go anywhere.'Further.'I pause a moment, then realize: 'I can't.'Kat shakes her head. 'It's really hard. And that's, what, a thousand years? What comes after that? What could possibly come after that? Imagination runs out. But it makes sense, right? We probably just imagine things based on what we already know, and we run out of analogies in the thirty-first century.","author":"Robin Sloan","tags":["future-prediction","futurism","game","imagination","inspirational"],"id":29096,"author_id":"Robin+Sloan"},{"text":"Don't even listen to No body including your friends who tells you to Move On in life.  They often will have destroyed your Motivation causing an unexpected anxiety, and a severe brain stress until you give up. No matter how dead serious they are in order for you to understand them, reject their Anti-statement with the Power of your Assertion. They will foolishly halter your situation you had been encountering over the past year, when it all started from the beginning.Therefore, you MUST KEEP MOVING FORWARD.DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.Train yourself to get strong so you can outsmart and surpass the famous people who came before you.That is the way of succeeding in life in order to prove to everyone you've overcome the Obstacles and your Anxiety.Keep moving forward always surpasses moving on.","author":"Luis Cosajay","tags":["cooperativeness","embrace-who-you-are","fight-for-happiness","fight-for-love","future-prediction","intelligence","intelligent","legend","motivational","never-give-up","never-give-up-on-anyone","overcome-obstacles","painful-memories","strength","strength-of-mind","strength-of-will","trustworthiness","willingness"],"id":29259,"author_id":"Luis+Cosajay"},{"text":"IT (The country) IS HEADED TOWARD OVERSIMPLIFICATION.

We all want to escape occasionally. But science fiction is often very far from escapism, in fact you might say that science fiction is escape into reality... It's a fiction which does concern itself with real issues: the origin of man; our future. In fact I can't think of any form of literature which is more concerned with real issues, reality.","author":"Arthur C.
