As 8th March 2014 dawned, I remembered myself as a woman, a thing I rarely do. I look upon myself as an individual, a rebellious non-conformist, but just an individual with strong opinions about everything.
Yet today, knowing that it is a day when life is supposed to centre around women, (not that on other days it doesn’t), I remembered some women who have inspired me ever since I was a teenager.
Dagny Taggart, Atlas Shrugged
The first character that seemed to take life by the horns and make the world take notice was DAGNY TAGGART of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. She became my role model when I was sixteen.

Today’s Motivation
There are two possible results of an action. Failure may dishearten one but that should not stop one from trying to act. If one stops trying, one also loses the chance of success thereby predestining the act. The author says ".......but you are doomed if you don't try."
