PROUD Index

Ayn Rand found that self-esteem is vital to human survival. People without self-esteem lack the confidence essential for independent action, and are too timid to achieve their values.

You have to regard your own mind as competent and yourself worthy of obtaining values. You have to love your life enough to make the most of it.

Be morally ambitious and strive mightily to achieve your goals in life.

When you are solidly on the right path, be PROUD.
