Motivated By Achievement Not By Competition By: Destry Masterson | - A desire presupposes the possibility of action, and action presupposes the goal worth accomplishing. That is how Ayn Rand said it.
What she means is before you do anything you first need to have a desire that propels you into action. That action will be set towards someone's goal, so make your actions work for your goals.
This means objectively view how your actions are going to benefit you. Not to say that you shouldn't help other people, but the best business tr ... Tags:motivation, health, fitness, exercise, inspirational
Training Your Body And Mind By: Destry Masterson | - Plato stated in the book Five Dialogues, that he thought of life and our bodies as a coat for our soul. Meaning our bodies will eventually become worn and useless, but our souls may last a long time longer.
If this is the case, then the habits we develop here in our short lives could subsequently have an effect on our soul, just like a rock against a coat is going to affect the wearer of such a coat.
Ballet A Fun Way To Exercise By: Destry Masterson | - Ballet has been around since the fifteenth century. As described by Ayn Rand, a philosopher, "the keynote of the stylization achieved in ballet is weightlessness. Paradoxically, ballet presents man as almost disembodied, it does not distort man's body, it selects the kinds of movements that are normally possible to man (such as walking on tiptoe) and exaggerates them, stressing their beauty-and defying the law of gravitation.

A Few Famous Architects By: Stewart Wrighter | - Cityscapes owe much to their architectural designers, and such men and women will continue to be an important part of civilization as it moves forward.

An Atlas Shrugged Moment For Venezuela By: Brian Jones | - In Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, the productive members of society are crowded out by bureaucrats and politicians until finally the national rail system becomes unsafe to travel upon due to a lack of skilled maintenance personnel. The politicos whine and scream for the system to be fixed, but they don't have the technical know-how to understand what needs to be done. More importantly, they don't have the respect for intelligence, hard work, and technology. They just assume that they can get whateve ... Tags:ayn rand, venezuela, hugo chavez

Krav Maga Vs. Krav Maga By: T.J. Kennedy | - Ok, so there are a trillion and one Krav Maga organizations. It's almost as bad as Christian denominations arguing as to which is the legitimate "one".
Now, before I launch into my tirade, please understand that I myself spent years with Krav Maga Worldwide under Darren Levine. I like Krav Maga, and I took many principles from it in the early stages of development of my own creation - the Hybrid Fighting Method.
The Fountainhead By Ayn Rand By: Prasoon Kumar | - The Fountainhead is a steamy novel which was loved by people yet panned by the critics. One thing was for sure though; the story was rousing and infused life into the architecture itself. The protagonist of The Fountainhead was Howard Roark, and his character was based on the real life (yet larger than life) architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.

The Radicalism Of Moderates And Independents By: Howard Jacobs | - There seems to be an unwritten rule, in the minds of many, that being a Political Independent makes a person more "reasonable" than people on the extremes of the political spectrum. Many on the right look to "soften" their views in order to gain acceptance from the MSM (Main Stream Media). They may say things such as "I'm a fiscal conservative but a social liberal", or the all too popular "I'm neither a republican nor a democrat".
Think And Grow Rich From Home By: multimilliondollarmindset | - "Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think."
- Ayn Rand
One thing that I really love about business, especially in the information age, is that it can be created or generated anytime and anyplace out of the fruits of our thoughts and creativity. Robert Kiyosaki talks about money being an idea, a construct. So if that is the case, then ideas should also be able to product it, right?

Rethink Sample Pneumatic System Automation By: Lucy | - "When men got structural steel, they did not use it to build steel pneumatic copies of wooden bridges," wrote Ayn Rand in her book "Atlas Shrugged." Today process sampling systems can benefit from advances due to the New Sampling/Sensor Initiative (NeSSI) so, we should ponder whether we're really taking advantage of these innovations or just building steel copies of wooden bridges.

The Absurdity Of Taxing Individual Effort By: David MacGregor | - Nothing is so certain as death and taxes, or so the well-worn saying goes. But I disagree. While death is most definitely certain, taxes are a matter of public policy and are just part of the status quo.
We were all born into a world where people pay tax. No one fundamentally challenges the system because thats the way it has always been. Sometimes people put forward various reforms, but no one seriously puts the whole taxation issue under a clear spotlight.
The Battle Of The Ages -- Words And Language Versus Thoughts And Ideas By: Howard Jacobs | - Thoughts and ideas are expressed with words and language but there is too much meaning placed on the words and not enough exploration of the ideas that the words represent. If the words sound good, if they are soothing words that make people feel good about themselves then people are unlikely to explore the real meaning. Call it intellectual laziness; this conflict is the dictator's best friend.

Ayn Rand And How Not To Write A Business Plan By: Stephen Nelson | - Ayn Rand's classic tome, "Atlas Shrugged," celebrates entrepreneurship and free-market capitalism. However, while Rand's book may energize business owners and entrepreneurs, "Atlas Shrugged" displays a naïve view of how to write a business plan. In particular, Rand (who after all only had limited real business experience) misses the boat in three areas:

Although critics, scholars, and pundits, go on repeating Heidgger's utterances --especially, 'language is the house of Being-- few have really given us an explanation of what the philosopher really meant by it.

Miguel Unamuno's Tragic Sense Of Life - A Defense Of Christian Existentialism By: marciano guerrero | - Whenever doubt assails me, I turn to The Tragic Sense of Life and my faith is quickly restored. Faith, reason, the man of flesh and bone, and immortality of body and soul, are themes that Unamuno discusses with the ardent --fanatical I'd say-- hunger for God.

The Key To Financial Freedom For Artists, Actors, Writers & Musicians By: Valery Satterwhite | - Well-meaning, yet woefully misguided, advice from parents, teachers and other loved ones such as "You'll never make a living as an artist" has become the foundational belief and mantra of the artist's Inner Critic. What's worse is that this also woefully misguided Inner Critic loves to be right and will serve up proof and evidence of this belief and beat you up with it day in and day out to make sure that you do, or not do, what it takes to keep this foundational belief in place.

Buying Paintings : Romanticism By: Matthew Enright | - The Treasure Hunters Roadshow are looking at buying paintings that you may have sitting around the house. Art is such an expression of one's heart and passion. During the Romanticism period they had such a wonderful way to express their passion through paintings.

Its subtitle says it all: 'A Conservative Manifesto'.

This time around I am listening to the book on my iPod.

Real Freedom Is Denying Myself By: Don Alexander | - "Utilitarianism" or the "greatest happiness for the greatest number," is not a new theory. It has roots in Aristotle, whom Steve Wilken's, author of Beyond Bumper Sticker Ethics, states that although we want to "pursue relaxation, education, and money"--we don't just do them. We do them because we believe they will give us happiness. Even further, utilitarianism forces us to look out for the good of everyone, and not just ourselves.

I am quite familiar with Ayn Rand's philosophy, and the fact is Ayn Rand would be totally correct if Darwinian macro-evolutionary theory were true.
