After so many days, I am back to share something on this page. Today I would like to share two quotes/ philosophies of life. In a way they are same. First one is the poem from the book invictus, A book on Nelson Mandela's life. Second one, a quote from one my all time favorite authors, Ayn Rand... From the book Atlas Shrugged.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
I refuse to apologize for my ability--I refuse to apologize for my success--
I refuse to apologize for my money. If this is evil, make the most of it.
If this is what the public finds harmful to its interests,
let the public destroy me. This is my code--and I will accept no other.
-Hank Reardon, Atlas Shrugged
