A Book that Changes Lives
Everyone experiences a book that “changes their lives” – if you haven’t, then it’s time to read more provocative material. But for me, that book appeared in 1992 when a friend handed me a copy of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged and said I “had to read it.”
This one line is very important in my mind:
"And while I may not subscribe to all of her Objectivism principles, I find truth and validation in her thinking."
It defends my belief that anyone can come away from Ayn Rand with positive results, without insisting that Objectivism can only be exercised without any deviation whatsoever. We need to welcome anyone that gets the basics, and not be too judgmental.
No other ism can survive such a restrictive application, and Objectivism is no different.
Thank you for posting...!
Obviously, you didn't submit your 501(C)3 as the Tea Party Baseball Team!
You'd still be waiting for "play ball!". ;-)
He focused on creators, innovators (he should have said inventors).
"Atlas Shrugged illustrates the pursuit of greatness as the critical element of human happiness and emphasizes the importance of hard work and persistence in overcoming all obstacles."
This quote actually reminded me of "The Fountainhead."
Just a great article. Thanks for finding it, Scott
