Quote by Princess of Wales Diana

At the age of 19, you always think you are prepared for everything and you think you have the knowledge of what?s coming ahead.

At the age of 19, you always think you are prepared for ever

Summary

This quote suggests that at the age of 19, individuals tend to feel a sense of confidence and readiness to face any challenges that lie ahead. They believe they possess enough knowledge and experience to handle whatever comes their way. However, it implies that this perception may be flawed, as the naivety and limited life experience of youth may prevent them from fully comprehending the complexities and unpredictability of the future. It highlights the tendency to overestimate one's preparedness and underestimating the learning and growth that are yet to come.

I love the word 'fantasy'... but I love it for the almost infinite room it gives an author to play: an infinite playroom, of a sort, in which the only boundaries are those of the imagination. I do not love it for the idea of commercial fantasy. Commercial fantasy, for good or for ill, tends to drag itself through already existing furrows, furrows dug by J. R. R. Tolkien or Robert E. Howard, leaving a world of stories behind it, excluding so much. There was so much fine fiction, fiction allowing free reign to the imagination of the author, beyond the shelves of genre. That was what we wanted to read.

Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

A line from one of my 1997 columns - 'Do one thing every day that scares you' - is now widely attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, though I have yet to see any evidence that she ever said it and I don't believe she did. She said some things about fear, but not that thing.
