I read the letter, "
Adequately Prepared, But Not Ready..." and it reminded me of words spoken by one of my drill instructors in the army. He approached one of the men during inspection who reported, "Ready for inspection." The drill instructor replied, "You are prepared for inspection, but never ready." All of the instructions we shall ever receive in this life can never fully make us ready for anything. Instruction is good and desirable, and if applied, will go a long way in helping us cope with the things we face, but we must still go through that thing called experience.
