We expect everything and are prepared for nothing.

Summary

This quote suggests that humans have a tendency to have high expectations for various aspects of life but often fail to adequately prepare for the challenges or obstacles that may arise. It highlights the disconnect between our desires and our proactive approach in achieving them. Without proper preparation, these expectations may remain unfulfilled, as simply expecting or wishing for something is not enough to make it a reality. The quote serves as a reminder to focus on not only setting goals or expectations but also taking the necessary steps to ensure their realization.
