Make Up Your Mind
*****************
"As a human being,
you have no choice
about the fact that
you need a philosophy.
Your only choice is
whether you define
your philosophy by a conscious,
rational, disciplined process
of thought and
scrupulously logical deliberation
�or
let your subconscious accumulate
a junk heap of
unwarranted conclusions,
false generalizations,
undefined contradictions,
undigested slogans,
unidentified wishes,
doubts and fears,
thrown together by chance,
but integrated
by your subconscious
into a kind of
mongrel philosophy
and fused into a single,
solid weight:
self-doubt,
like a ball and chain
in the place where
your mind�s wings
should have grown."
..Ayn Rand
