Ayn Rand Quotes

"If It's worth doing, it's worth overdoing"
Ayn Rand is saying that if something if worth your efforts, then you should put all of your effort into it.
There's two kinds of people in society; those who complete the minimum expectations and get by, and those who put their full effort into everything important to them. To those people, I have a question. If it's worth doing, then why do you barely do it? I guess the answer to that question is, in fact, another question. What is really worth doing? What defines what is worth doing, society, or the individual? Who sets the expectations for your life, and what you do? Do they have a  right to set those expectations?
In order to overdo something, you must have the motivation to overdo it. In order to have this motivation, you must look inside yourself, and see what you really want to do with your life. Only then will we, as a society, put in our fullest effort.

"But why should you car what people say? All you have to do is please yourself."
I can't agree with this quotation any more. Rand is saying that you really shouldn't consider what people say about you. As long as you're happy with yourself, then you're fine. An example of this is how my generation is labeled as the ""me" generation. You can label my generation whatever you want, but when it comes down to it, I know who I really am. Say what you want to say about me, it's not going to affect my life, and how I look at myself. I've come to learn who I am, so such labels don't have such an effect on me. Since I'm pleased with myself, I can care less of any labels people give to me. I'm Brandon Link. I want to see everything the world has to offer, and I want to make the world a better place for others.. Through my motivation for such causes, I'm willing to put in my full effort to attain these feats.
