About This Quote
A person who has a false sense of security is often referred to as being naive. The idea of being naive can be a lie or an exaggeration. To know the truth is to see the world in all its glory, beauty, and splendor. It might be easy to think that success will drop into your life like manna from heaven, but not every success is fair.
Some things are earned and some are given to you by fate. Before you assume that the great things in life are already yours, you must completely eliminate your blind spots and believe in yourself.
