This is a general guide. To show how time goes by. But one thing I cannot forget is my craze over Nostradamus when I was in my secondary school. I read this book about Nostradamus from the library and some bold prediction he made. He mentioned the following events and I get to realise what it meant over the years

What I have remembered

Prediction 1 : The world will end in Year 2000 wiith falling meteorites and debris from outer space.

My Conclusion : Nah ,He must have seen scences from the movie "Armargaedoon" and "Deep Impact"

Prediction 2 : Islam will be at its peak in the 21 century

My Conclusion : Quite true after all the terrorist acts happening around the world

Prediction 3 : The first alien will be televised on T.V

My Conclusion : With so many X-Files and alien related movies and news showing on TV. why not?

I was quite freaked out that time , telling everyone about what i have read. Its fun to know the future at that time. Well at least you plan a bit when you know what the world will be like.
