“One cannot be prepared for something while secretly believing it will not happen.”
— Nelson Mandela

Simplified Meaning:
If you want to be ready for something, you have to believe it might actually happen. Think about it like this: if you're planning a picnic and you don't think it will rain, you probably won't bring an umbrella. Then, if it does rain, you'll get wet because you weren't prepared. This means that in order to truly get ready for any situation, you need to accept that it's possible. For example, if you're studying for an exam but keep telling yourself you'll never have to take it, you might not study seriously and then fail when the test day comes. To avoid this, believe in the possibility of the event and take steps to prepare for it properly. This way, you’re better equipped to handle it if or when it happens.
