About This Quote
If you are not willing to keep learning new things, you might as well give up on life. The best way to learn more is to read about the lives of great people. You can learn through them that your greatest obstacle may be your own lack of confidence. Take the example of Ayn Rand, who was a remarkable woman writer who first came to fame with her first novel "We the Living".
Through her work, she set out to prove that people can live without government. She taught us that it is not necessary for society to offer us security so long as we are willing to take care of ourselves.
