nakulanb Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hi, My name is Nakulan and I am new to these forums. I am excited to participate in this community and discuss ideas with likeminded folks. I have read The Virtue of Selfishness, The Fountainhead, Anthem and a play by Rand that I can't recall the name of at this time. I plan on reading Atlas Shrugged after I complete The Odyssey which I'm almost done with. Thanks for reading, Nakulan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"... or maybe 'Ideal' ", but said "Nah.. couldn't be..." because that's way less well known than NoJ16 nakulanb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a friend who was an Objectivist in Undergrad and he taught me much about it. I fell in love with Anthem and The Fountainhead. I especially resonated with The Fountainhead in that I am an Artist myself (musician) and found Roark's unwillingness to compromise his Artistic Vision inspiring. Now, I do think if you want to work in any career and you are not the owner of the place, you must find a place where you agree with their values and work accordingly. I love the Independent Pharmacy I work for as a Pharmacy Technician, we value making money, but we also value our patients and doing what's right by them. I also love Rand's concept of Selfishness. I was very much Altruistic growing up and got walked all over. Objectivism changed my life, for the better!
