Ag Futures Quotes

It's too easy, when you have unharnessed power at your fingertips to forget you're not invincible. To make rash decisions that can affect your whole future.

Everything—our lives, our loves, our futures—hinges on one word alone: IF.

I gasp. The profoundness of such a gesture, from a self-seeking fae, touches my soul. The only thing predictable about my future king is his unpredictability. “You once told me you wouldn’t be a gentleman. You lied.”

You're the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing when I go to sleep. You're my sun and moon and stars, my past and present-and I hope you'll be my future.

I need to know why I’m so broken, so I can fix myself. One way or another. Maybe this place can help me do that, and then I can finally look forward to my future. Because I’m starting to realize there’s something worse than stepping up and facing your fears – and that’s living as if you’re already dead.

Future Farmers of America. Group who take ag classes and are going to inherit the farm. Hot shit around here, they have a couple guys in every clique, and they stick together, 'cause they know they'll be seeing each other every week for the next sixty years.

Yet he’s still scared. What is he afraid of?” “Same thing every powerful man is afraid of.” The Crone shrugs. “The day the truth comes out.” “The day he gets what’s coming,” says the Maiden. The Mother meets Agnes’s eyes and Juniper sees something pass between them, the gleam of a tossed blade. “Us.

On the whole, people who are always going after more get trapped in the future. They never live in the present, never enjoy it, because their attention is always focused on something that's yet to happen.

I wonder what the world would be like if we could all glimpse our future before every major decision. Maybe that’s what stories are for: so we can learn from people living similar lives, with similar troubles.

We talk and tease and bargain with the main dish. Maniacal laughter echoes in the marble halls, sweet to my ears. There’s movement at the banquet hall’s entrance. A child with my eyes tumbles in—all wings and blue hair and giggling innocence. Holding his hand is Morpheus, wearing a ruby crown. The Red King. My king. The bubble bursts and takes the vision with it, leaving nothing but the sound of my gasp and wisps of gray smoke behind. “You see,” Ivory says, “once Morpheus knew that one day you would belong to him and he to you, that you would share a child, he was no longer willing to die to save Wonderland. But he’s insecure about your feelings for him. He feared you would refuse to help. So he made a new plan, however flawed it was.

He stretches languorously under me, and the silvery scar on his abdomen catches the light, that telltale mark from Sister Two when he fought her inside Butterfly Threads just weeks ago. When he almost died to help me and Jeb escape. But I didn’t let him die, because I couldn’t imagine a world without him. I can’t imagine a future without him, either. Not anymore.

What is he afraid of?” “Same thing every powerful man is afraid of.” The Crone shrugs. “The day the truth comes out.” “The day he gets what’s coming,” says the Maiden. The Mother meets Agnes’s eyes and Juniper sees something pass between them, the gleam of a tossed blade. “Us.

Mission and vision statements are elements of strategy, but they aren’t enough. They offer no guide to productive action and no explicit road map to the desired future. They don’t include choices about what businesses to be in and not to be in. There’s no focus on sustainable competitive advantage or the building blocks of value creation.

The future shouldn't be female or male---but one of women and men working together. That's the real definition of equality.

People will fight to the death to save their own lives, but they’ll wage war to preserve their way of life for future generations.

Our future is written in the past, and it's the adventure of a lifetime.

and what about Agnes’s man, who delivered you to my doorstep so efficiently?” Agnes’s man. What a novel, rather appealing arrangement, to own a man rather than being owned by him.

It is far better to ask what your competitors will likely do before you proceed than to simply wait and see what happens. Only strategies that provide a sustainable advantage—or a significant lead in developing future advantages—are worth investing in.

Voting doesn’t seem like a waste of time to me.” She’s still fooling with her egg yolk, swirling it into gummy circles. Agnes’s stomach heaves. “Look, all that ‘votes for women’ stuff sounds real noble and all, but they don’t mean women like you and me. They mean nice uptown ladies with big hats and too much time on their hands.

Burst through Stone with a Feather; Cross a Forest in One Step; Hold an Ocean in Her Palm; Alter the Future with Her Fingertip; Defeat an Invisible Enemy; Trample an Army beneath Her Feet; Wake the Dead; Harness the Power of a Smile.

Istruzione, affari e industria, viaggi e logistica, banche, vendita al dettaglio e shopping, intrattenimento, welfare e sanità, politica e relazioni sociali, in breve la vita stessa per come la conosciamo oggi è diventata inconcepibile senza la presenza di pratiche, prodotti, servizi e tecnologie digitali. Chiunque non sia stupito di fronte a una tale rivoluzione digitale non ne ha afferrato la portata. Stiamo parlando di un nuovo capitolo della storia umana. Naturalmente, molti altri capitoli l'hanno preceduto. Erano tutti ugualmente significativi. L'umanità ha sperimentato un mondo prima e dopo la ruota, la lavorazione del ferro, l'alfabeto, la stampa, il motore, l'elettricità, la televisione o il telefono. Ogni trasformazione è unica. Alcune di queste hanno cambiato in maniera irreversibile il modo in cui comprendiamo noi stessi, la nostra realtà e l'esperienza che ne facciamo, con implicazioni complesse e di lungo periodo. Stiamo ancora scoprendo nuovi modi per sfruttare la ruota, basti pensare alla ghiera cliccabile dell'iPod. Al contempo, è inimmaginabile ciò che l'umanità potrà ottenere grazie alle tecnologie digitali. Nessuno nel 1964 (vedi capitolo 1) avrebbe potuto immaginare come sarebbe stato il mondo solo cinquant'anni dopo. I futurologi sono i nuovi astrologi. Eppure, è anche vero che la rivoluzione digitale accade una volta sola, e cioè adesso. Questa particolare pagina della storia umana è stata voltata ed è iniziato un nuovo capitolo. Le generazioni future non sapranno mai com'era una realtà esclusivamente analogica, offline, predigitale. Siamo l'ultima generazione che l'avrà vissuta. Il prezzo di un posto così speciale nella storia lo si paga con incertezze che destano preoccupazioni. Le trasformazioni indotte dalle tecnologie digitali sono sorprendenti. Giustificano un po' di confusione e di apprensione. Basta guardare i titoli dei giornali. Tuttavia, il nostro posto speciale in questo spartiacque storico, tra una realtà completamente analogica e una sempre più digitale, porta con sé anche straordinarie opportunità. Proprio perché la rivoluzione digitale è appena iniziata, abbiamo la possibilità di plasmarla in modi positivi che possono fare progredire sia l'umanità sia il nostro pianeta. Come disse una volta Winston Churchill, "prima siamo noi a dare forma agli edifici; poi sono questi a dare forma a noi". Siamo nella primissima fase di costruzione delle nostre realtà digitali. Possiamo costruirle bene, prima che inizino a influenzare e modellare noi e le generazioni future nel modo sbagliato. La discussione sul bicchiere mezzo vuoto o mezzo pieno è inutile perché la questione davvero interessante è come possiamo riempirlo. Per individuare la strada migliore da percorrere nello sviluppo delle nostre tecnologie digitali, il primo, fondamentale passo è cercare di averne una maggiore e migliore comprensione. Non dovremmo sonnecchiare nella creazione di un mondo sempre più digitale. L'insonnia della ragione è vitale, perché il suo sonno genera errori mostruosi. Comprendere le trasformazioni tecnologiche in atto sotto i nostri occhi è cruciale, se vogliamo guidare la rivoluzione digitale in una direzione che sia preferibile (equa) dal punto di vista sociale e sostenibile da quello ambientale. Ciò può tradursi solo in uno sforzo collaborativo. Pertanto, in questo libro, offro il mio contributo condividendo alcune idee su un particolare tipo di tecnologia digitale, l'intelligenza artificiale (IA), e un problema specifico, la sua etica.

It was all about how our perception of the world around us is shaped by our convictions, mental health, physical health, and environment.” “Well, I think our beliefs are more powerful than that,” her father said. “I think they—along with time—are the unseen engine of the universe.” “The missing piece,” Adeline said. “That’s right. I think beliefs and time determine our future. All those years, when you were thinking about creating a machine to get your lost family member back—and when Elliott was thinking about it—I think it shaped our future.

I got an idea.” Beatrice looks up to meet Agnes’s eyes. She and Agnes are still wary with one another, careful as cats, but at this moment Beatrice is certain they are both wondering the same thing: whether there is anything in the world more sinister than their youngest sister in possession of an idea.

Aspirations are statements about the ideal future. At a later stage in the process, a company ties to those aspirations some specific benchmarks that measure progress toward them.

Baby care in Asia, for instance, made great sense-since, for the foreseeable future, most of the world's babies would be born in Asia.

Chapter One: The world is flat. I know it is, because for the last five hours the view has been exactly the same. Only the sun has done any traveling, working its long shadows through straight lines of harvested cotton. A few crows shop the furrowed rows for worms, weevils, and grasshoppers. One hops over to inspect the truck I'm lying under, cocks a beady black eye, probably attracted to the shiny metal police-issued handcuffs, my hand in one of the cuffs, dangling from wrist to arm, and finally down to me, Lalla Bains, aero-ag pilot, sometime busybody, meddling where I shouldn't—again. I'm dirt smeared and sweaty, thinking if I get out of this alive, if the killer doesn't return to finish me off, I'll foreswear all future sleuthing. My dad, Caleb my fiancé, my best friend Roxanne, and half of Stanislaus County will be pleased to bear witness to that promise.

To achieve ongoing success....we need to look toward the future and identify how we want to fight – we cannot simply rely on the practices of today being successful in the changing environment of tomorrow.

CINTA tak berfikir masa depan, tapi cinta akan membawa kita ke-masa depan

Why do we seem to be alone in the universe? Where did we come from? And what is the future of the human race? What is our destiny?

All I can do is make the best decisions I can in the moment and prepare myself to make better decisions in the future. Agonizing about them after the fact accomplishes nothing.

What is fear? Fear is what saves our life when we look up and realize a car is rushing toward us. Fear makes us get out of the way. Fear focuses us. Fear makes us think about the future and about the decisions we make today and how they might impact our lives. Fear is good. Fear is why our species has survived so long on this planet. But fear can malfunction.” I look around the group, at the dozens of faces, all eyes fixed on me. “‘Fear is like an alarm. We—as owners of our own minds—must turn it off when it has served its purpose.

Change. Every generation grows up in a world a little different than their parents. For some generations, there’s more change than others. For some generations, the future seems like science fiction. And then their children end up living something that resembles the stories that no one believed in their own time. That’s the way of the world. Some changes are for the better. Some for the worse. But always change.

The question needed to be reframed. The next morning, everyone would be given three votes on what constituted the core capabilities of the company, along the following criteria: first, for a given capability, the group had to be reasonably sure P&G already had real, measurable competitive advantage in that area and could widen its margin of advantage in the future. Second, the capability had to be broadly relevant and important to the majority of P&G’s businesses. That is, it had to be a company-level rather than business-level capability that distinguished P&G from its competitors. Third, the capability had to be decisive, a real competitive advantage that was the difference between winning and losing. Ultimately, the question was, what capabilities must P&G, as a global company, have to win across the industries in which it would compete?

wonder what the world would be like if we could all glimpse our future before every major decision. Maybe that’s what stories are for: so we can learn from people living similar lives, with similar troubles.

People fear what they don’t understand. They fear uncertainty. They fear a future in which they don’t know what survival will look like.

The class was PSYCH 20N: How Beliefs Create Reality.” “That’s the one.” “It was all about how our perception of the world around us is shaped by our convictions, mental health, physical health, and environment.” “Well, I think our beliefs are more powerful than that,” her father said. “I think they—along with time—are the unseen engine of the universe.” “The missing piece,” Adeline said. “That’s right. I think beliefs and time determine our future.

A reality radically different from the human’s own. This human could render possible futures, imagine what life would be like if something existed. That was the transcendental mutation.

Look at the Forbes list of the richest people. The individuals listed are very different, but they all share one trait: vision. The ability to imagine a future that doesn’t exist—to imagine what the world would be like if something changed, if a product or service existed. And these people’s fortunes were made because their visions were accurate—they correctly predicted that something that didn’t already exist both could be created and would be valuable to a specific group of people.

once you learn from the past, you’ve gotta let it go. It can’t do anything else for you. The future is all that matters.

Entertainment is the future.

The first event occurred somewhere between seventy and forty-five thousand years ago. Somewhere on Earth, a human developed a new ability. A cognitive breakthrough. They possessed a mind that thought differently. That human had the ability to imagine something that didn’t already exist. Our predecessors created tools, but those were mostly reactive, incremental steps that were almost obvious. This event signified the birth of fiction—a mind that could literally simulate a reality that didn’t exist. A reality radically different from the human’s own. This human could render possible futures, imagine what life would be like if something existed.

I can’t think that way. All I can do is make the best decisions I can in the moment and prepare myself to make better decisions in the future. Agonizing about them after the fact accomplishes nothing.

- “The consequence?” - “Globalization.” - “Implication?” - “Our fate is reflected in our most famous invention: the computer. Those local area networks that sprang up like cities in the eighties and nineties got connected at the turn of the century by the internet. Just like European colonization connected the globe. Globalization is to the human race what the internet is to computers—a method for sharing resources and ideas. Ideas can now move around the world in nanoseconds. We have a platform for enabling the strongest minds to transform their thoughts into reality—and deploy that reality for the good of the masses. If you think about it, vision—fictive simulation—remains the most powerful human ability. Look at the Forbes list of the richest people. The individuals listed are very different, but they all share one trait: vision. The ability to imagine a future that doesn’t exist—to imagine what the world would be like if something changed, if a product or service existed. And these people’s fortunes were made because their visions were accurate—they correctly predicted that something that didn’t already exist both could be created and would be valuable to a specific group of people.

How can the future be written?” “It is written in our blood, Milo. The war is always the same, only the names and places change. There are demons upon this earth. They live in our hearts and minds. This is a history of our struggle, a chronicle of the past war that will be repeated. The past and our nature predict our future. Read it. Learn it well.

scientific mysteries that had haunted the world’s greatest minds, from Albert Einstein to Stephen Hawking. More than that, Ty believed that his discovery might answer the deepest questions of human existence: Why do we seem to be alone in the universe? Where did we come from? And what is the future of the human race? What is our destiny?

To prosper, companies need to do four things well: develop leaders of the future, improve productivity, execute strategy, and create innovation. Innovation is the glue that binds everything together. Without sustaining the practice of innovation, no company can excel—or survive.

The traditional portfolio approach to strategy—analyzing the attractiveness of the space in which the businesses in the portfolio are positioned and the expected rate of growth—misses the point. Through mental gymnastics, using financial analytic tools, the leaders try to figure out which businesses to keep and get rid of and how to do resource allocation. All of this has its place, but it is not enough. This kind of thinking does not take into account what a sustained process of innovation can do to alter the space itself—its scope, composition, rate of growth, margins, and profitability. The value of innovation is that it provides the courage to make the commitment to make these alterations, particularly when you see that the market will decline in the near future.

Hewlett-Packard has a structure similar to Future Works. Its Personal Systems Group (PSG) created the Innovation Program Office, or IPO, to meet two common problems around innovation: funding and speed.

G’s Future Works is an organization consisting of multidisciplinary teams, led by a general manager. Its primary objective is to seek out innovation opportunities that create new consumption, which can be used as the basis for creating new businesses, thereby resulting in net extra sales and profits. Unlike innovation teams that reside in the business units, Future Works is not constrained by existing category paradigms. Rather, it explores discontinuous ideas that might create a new category or segment, cut across existing categories, or create an adjacency to an existing business. This includes new business models and partnerships,

People in Honeywell’s Automation and Control Solutions (ACS) business, for instance, thought they did a good job listening to customers, but in many cases they were listening to “the voice of the last sale we lost,” meaning salespeople could tell you very specifically what a customer had wanted that Honeywell didn’t provide. But they had no methodology for evaluating whether that missing ingredient was something the company should pursue. Was the lost sale a major long-term marketing opportunity that might mean hundreds of millions of dollars in future revenue or just a onetime missed opportunity? Consequently, people worked on lots of technology projects with little information about the real nature and relevant size of the market opportunity they represented.

Technology research projects three to five years from commercialization were the feeder system for DuPont’s future revenues and margins. There were lots of them, all consuming precious resources, particularly the expertise of key people whose efforts were diluted over too many projects. In Connelly’s view, so many projects could neither be properly managed nor given the proper amount of resources. He and Bingham looked at the hundreds of projects that were within three to five years of launch and picked seventy-five (limited to no more than a handful per business unit) that they judged had the highest probability of success. The top seventy-five projects had to meet three criteria: address a well-defined unmet market need; the business must have or be reasonably expected to develop a unique solution to the need; and the business must have an effective route by which the solution could be delivered to the market. For a company whose development efforts had been driven by R&D for most of its two-hundred-year history, that shift represented a major turning point.

Farming is iffy at the best of times, but I could have never foreseen the day that a lightning strike landed on the metal side of my hardware shack and incinerated the hardware wallet that held the key to all of my Bitcoin savings that had a grand total of $160,000. I stood out in the rain with the burnt-out shell of warped metal and wood, feeling that I had lost a lifetime of financial stability with it. I shivered with trepidation as I rummaged within the ashes to seek out the melted shreds of the digital savings bridge that I had put into the care of it. Panic gripped me with a fierceness that no famine had ever triggered. Money was the insurance policy fund, cushion fund, plan to enlarge the farm larger, the destiny of the family of mine. I had failed them somehow. I tossed about all night with visions of debt and of the loss of the house spinning round the head of me. The next afternoon at the ag conference (more out of habit than hopes), I stood next to a speaker while I was eavesdropping on him say the name of FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY carelessly while talking to someone between talks. I was interested and desperate so I followed him later to introduce himself with a quavering voice. I contacted the FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY that afternoon. From the very beginning of the call, their staff treated my case with the professionalism of seasoned experts aware of the personal and the technical worth of the loss I had experienced. They were not merely examining a burnt wallet; they were examining a farmer with his means of support by a thread. Their experts treated the broken hardware with the tenderness of a priceless germ sample. With the skill of meticulous techniques, they recovered my personal keys out of to me a junk pile of useless electronics. With each update they made, they were a lifeline that kept me afloat away from financial destitution. Ten tense days had passed when I got the call: the wallet had been recovered. I was about to drop the phone in the barn with the news. I was overcome with relief that I knew that the savings were intact. The farm could carry on, and the future of the family was secured. FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY recovered not just information but also hope. They turned disaster into resilience, something I will forever be thankful to them for.
