"At the age of four with paper hats and wooden swords we're all Generals. Only some of us never grow out of it"

This quote by Peter Ustinov speaks to the innocence and happiness of childhood. At the age of 4, we are all generals, filled with imagination and interest. We make paper hats and wood swords and play make-believe, pretending to be brave warriors and effective leaders. We have lots of energy and optimism, thinking that anything is possible. Sadly, as we grow older, we frequently lose this sense of marvel and possibility. We become more seasoned and negative, and our dreams and ambitions become more practical and achievable. We forget the delight of pretending and the power of our own creativities. Ustinov's quote reminds us of the value of keeping our youth dreams and never losing sight of our inner kid.
