“WTF”? You mean as in “Win the Future”!? ;)
I see your point - but it is a speech, some artistic license I suppose. Although I know some folks that are timid and always dwelling on the past (”if only I had done .....”). The past owns them. But others that are looking forward (”What if ...”) - they own the future.

The trick is to live in the present.
