“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others”
–Ayn Rand
The Desire to Achieve
Interesting quote today. I am never quite sure what makes me pick a particular quote. I search for quotes and grab the ones that strike a chord in me. Then I create the graphic. Most often, not really knowing what it is I am going to write about.
So, I am not even sure what this quote means, I do know I like it for whatever reason. I have never been much of a competitive person, I am more the cheerleader type, cheering all on to win or achieve their goals. I have never taken pleasure in ‘beating’ others or broadcasting the fact that I won.
Does this mean I am a creative person? Does it mean creative versus destructive? Is the desire to beat others an ultimately destructive desire?
What does it mean to you? I’d really like to know!
