Perhaps this just shows naivety, that she grossly misunderstood what might happen, and simply assumed that she could click her fingers and come home to Britain.
But because of my naivety, I thought, well, maybe he's wrong and I'll try and make it work, so 5 and half thousand prototypes later I had made it work.
Later she blamed her own “foolishness, naivety and perhaps intellectual laziness”, but some found it hard to forgive her for signing a petition in 1953 backing a show trial of four priests.
Even when I think about it, I used to be really insecure about not being as good as they were technically, but I've learned that my naivety is actually a strength.
