| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Iron Puddler by James J. Davis: Democrats into Republicans. This is the only method I have ever
used in campaigning. The Republicans carried the town. When, two
years later, I ran for city clerk, they passed around the rumor
that I was a wild Welshman from a land where the tribes lived in
caves and wore leather skirts and wooden shoes, and that I had
had my first introduction to a pants-wearing people when I came
to America. They said that I had not yet learned to speak
English, could not spell my own name, and was unable to count

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from U. S. Project Trinity Report by Carl Maag and Steve Rohrer: 1945 and the end of 1946. This number includes not only the
scientists, technicians, and military personnel who were part of
Project TRINITY but also many visitors. Some of the scientists took
their wives and children on a tour of the area near ground zero,
particularly to view the green glass called "trinitite," which covered
the crater floor. Trinitite was the product of the detonation's
extreme beat, which melted and mixed desert sand, tower steel, and
other debris (1; 8; 9; 16).
