I could die for you. But I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, live for you

people are so contradictory in their premises, and don't even realize it

Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.

It’s just a loose guide.

I am an Objectivist.

In order to restore balance to my dashboard, I’m going on a following spree. 

If you want to influence a country’s intellectual trend, the first step is to bring order to your own ideas and integrate them into a consistent case, to the best of your knowledge and ability. This does not mean memorizing and reciting slogans and principles, Objectivist or otherwise: knowledge necessarily includes the ability to apply abstract principles in specific issues, to demonstrate them, and to advocate a consistent course of action. This does not require omniscience or omnipotence; it is the subconscious expectation of automatic omniscience in oneself and in others that defeats many would-be crusaders (and serves as an excuse for doing nothing). What is required is honesty–intellectual honestly, which consists of knowing what one does know, constantly expanding one’s knowledge, and never evading or failing to correct a contradiction. This means: the development of an active mind as a permanent attribute.

It’s never too late to change the direction that your life is going in.
