INDIVIDUAL INTEGRITY• A Nation, Society or Business
can only be great and everlasting when a Majority of it’s Members are Moral
• The essence of Ayn Rand philosophy is:
• “Man is a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute,”
• Moral Purpose is choosing right from wrong
• Have faith in Man’s Creator. His Ten Commandments are a useful guide.
• Experience each moment now.
• Rely on your judgment, your inner voice
• Do the Right Thing.
• Avoid the Siren Song.
• Productive Achievement leads to Success and Self-Reliance and avoids Dependency.
• What did you learn yesterday that you can convince someone else to write a check for tomorrow.
• Reason based on facts, not good intentions, increases everyone’s prosperity.
