"Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. The great creators--the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors--stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced.
But...the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won."
( From Ayn Rand from the book The Fountainhead. These lines definitely keep me going. Because I have realised anything different and anything fresh or a new idea gets all the attention as well as opposition on its side.
So we must struggle, and struggle and win, If thats what has to happen at the end.
I gotta believe it's worth it.
Without a victory,
I'm so sanctified and free,
Well maybe I'm just mistaken.
Lesson learned and the wheels keep turning..
This is the world that we live in,
I can't take blame for two.
This is the world that we live in,
And maybe we'll make it through

After Fountainhead I just could not gather any courage for Ayn Rand.
It is easy to fight against odds but difficult to find a vision which will truly inspire to fight.
My humble opinion.
