“I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose.

“Make this decision today. Will you be a good and honest writer, or would you rather be famous, loved, noticed? Tell me, because there are different paths for these two divergent goals. The decision to be a true artist is lonelier and slower, but it will lead to better work and, I think, a better life. Very rarely you will be a good and honest writer and also know a little comfort and some attention and the well wishes of a crowd.

“I don't believe in mistakes. Never have. I believe that there are a multitude of paths before us and it's just a matter of which way we walk home. I don't believe in regret. If you regret things about your life, than I'll bet that you're not paying attention. Regret is just imagining that you know what would have happened if you took that job in California or married your high-school sweetheart or just looked one more time before you stepped out into the street ... or didn't.

“I think there's a little more attention to human needs than to property rights. But I don't think much of political activism. It's so shortsighted.

“Too often little attention is paid to individual talent. instead, education goes on dividing people according to their sex, and putting them in little feminine or masculine pigeonholes ... Girls are shielded and sometimes helped so much that they lose initiative and begin to believe the signs 'Girls don't' and 'Girls can't' which mark their paths... Consequently, it seems almost necessary to evolve different methods of instruction for them when they later take up the same subjects.” PeopleBelieveLittlesDifferentSometimesSeemsGirlIndividualSexWomenLosesAttentionPathSubjectsTalentGoes OnMarkPaidMethodEvolveAviationFeminineInstructionInitiativeMasculineDividingIndividual Talent Author:Amelia Earhart
