You know if you ask any people today what they would like to do or become one day ??
the typical answer is that I want to help people. I want to make a difference in the lives of others.These are really noble goals and I salute people who think like this. However let me share with you a concept I learnt.
“The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone.” -Ayn rand
WIN – WIN moves doesn't work in all causes…in a race if u want to win a race u have to beat ur opponents.One great philosopher said " feeling selffish about one's own family is equal to feeling selfish about his own country"
Treat all people equally in the world
Means if u want to serve people….....serve them irrespective of their caste ,nationality or ur relation towards them
There's a common misconception out there that being selfish is a bad thing.this is the very reason why,even though many are acting in a selfish way ,they are feeling shy to describe them as selfish. This is wrong! Selfish people are the ones who make the world go round, who create art and civilization. Selfishness is the key to living a happy, successful life. Instead of pleasing others and constantly saying yes, let's explore living for ourselves. being selfish and caring for others aren't mutually exclusive. You can still be the best person you can possibly be and be selfish and make others happy.
Now I guess at this moment many of you are probably thinking I am going crazy ..hmm let me complete then u can form ur opinion about this theory
If you want to help people, if you want to make a difference you need to first start with yourself.
The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone” – aynrand
For eg. In an airplane also(at high altitude) they tell you to put on your masks first and then put it on for your children.
They are not asking you to be selfish but they don’t want you to pass out when putting on the masks for your children.
This is what I mean. Success begins with you. You need to start with yourself first and then focus on others.
If you want to give lots of money to charity then you need to first be making lots of money to give away. If you want to help people who are sick then you need to spend years focusing on your books and then you will be able to focus on helping others.
If u want to hate selfish people '' u have to first hate ur nation which says to not to help enemies"
All most every country's constitution will contain right of own property and right to inherit ur parent's property
You see, it all begins with you. You have to do things that may separate you from the others.
whether u believe or not friends man's true nature is being selfish like any other animal

and

YOU CAN SHARE FOOD TOGETHER , BUT U CAN'T DIGEST IT WITH OTHERS
U R BORN WITH A INDIVIDUAL BRAIN NOT WITH A COLLECTIVE BRAIN
U brain will think only from your point of view
1st Know ''how u can feel happy'' then follow ur dreams
If u feel happy by dancing do it
If u feel happy by helping others do it.
Once again i am saying ,if u feel happy by helping others ,just do it,becoz it is also a means for getting happiness
IF U FEEL HAPPY BY BEING SELFISH THEN BE LIKE THAT
u can do what ever u want ,until it hurts the rights of others
Let me conclude this topic with a quote of my own " Learning to love yourself, is the greatest love of all." ur consciousness is the only thing which can judge u
