“There are those individuals who die for a cause, and we say they have made the ultimate sacrifice. We call them martyrs, and we never doubt their sincerity. Yet many others search their entire lives for something—or someone—worth dying for and this is very different. These are the lonely and the desperate, fearful that their lives have no meaning. They yearn for the bullet, if only someone else will pull the trigger.” IfsMadeDifferentDiesIndividualCausesDoubtSacrificeDyingLonelyUltimateDesperateSincerityFearfulBulletsMartyrTriggersLife Has No MeaningUltimate Sacrifice Author:Ilsa J.

“There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.” IfsThinkingInspirationalBelieveEndsCareGamesWinningIndividualI BelieveSportsDifficultGoalGreaterPlayerOne ThingSacrificeTeamAchieveTalentWillingBasketballTake CarePlentyTitlesNbaTeamworkChampionshipFunny ThingsBasketball PlayerFamous BasketballInspirational BasketballMotivational BasketballBasketball MotivationGreater GoodNba ChampionshipsTeam PlayerGood BasketballNba PlayerAccoladesBasketball TeamworkBasketball WinningWinning BasketballChampionship TeamIndividual Goals Author:Michael Jordan

“Evolutionary plasticity can be purchased only at the ruthlessly dear price of continuously sacrificing some individuals to death from unfavourable mutations.

“Collectivism holds that the individual has no rights, that his life and work belong to the group (to "society," to the tribe, the state, the nation) and that the group may sacrifice him at its own whim to its own interests. The only way to implement a doctrine of that kind is by means of brute force - and statism has always been the poltical corollary of collectivism.” WayKindMayMeanStatesIndividualForceNationsInterestLibertyRightsSacrificeGroupsSocietyEconomicEconomicsDoctrineTribesBrutesWhimCollectivismBrute Force Book:The Virtue of Selfishness Source: The Virtue of Selfishness
