’’Your past is not your potential.”

                                           Marilyn Ferguson

                I think that this quote means that whatever you have done in the past does not determine who you are going to become of what you are going to do in the future. Whatever you have done is in the past now and you cannot change it. I think that this also means that even if you have a bad past that you should also try to do what every other person does. Just because you have made some mistakes doesn't mean you have no right to follow your dreams.
