RANDIAN WISDOM
"Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death."
—Ayn Rand, novelist/philosopher
If you really want to achieve the life you desire, you have to be intrepid enough to go for it! I always keep in mind the above quote from Ayn Rand, who in my mind was one of the greatest novelists and one of the greatest thinkers the world has ever known. You see, there’s no nobility in merely existing. To make your life a real value to you and to others, you have to strive to be the best you can be. Sure, the path will be difficult and fraught with struggle. But nothing good in this world is achieved without a whole lot of effort. Do yourself a favor and expend that effort no matter what the cost. Your life is up to you. Go live it!
Wisdom about money, investing and life can be found anywhere. If you have a good quote you’d like me to share with your fellow Alert readers, send it to me, along with any comments, questions and suggestions you have about my radio show, newsletters, seminars, or anything else.
