Fortune Cookie Confusion

I enjoy a good fortune cookie (especially after my favorite: "sweet and sour chicken"). Many times I get a fortune and think, "This more of a proverb than a fortune".



Regardless of it being a fortune or one of life's deep and meaningful proverbs I'm usually satisfied with the insight of the little folded cookie. Yet I recently got this "fortune" and immediately felt jiped: It must be home-grown.


"What kind of fortune is this?" "What does this have to tell me about the meaning of life?" "Is this some sort of hippie drug reference?"


Your help in deciphering this code is much appreciated.

“Must be home-grown.” I immediately went to one the all time greatest film trilogies of all time, Back to the Future. In the end of the third movie, Doc Brown tells Mart McFly, “No man should know too much about his own destiny. Your future is what you make of it, so make it a good one.” Your future is “home-grown”, you have to take of it, cultivate it, so your future may grow and flourish
