Revelation: Hidden Message in The Avengers


Black Widow, Ironman, Thor, Captain America, Hulk.

..take your time, you'll see it
(just like in the movie, Hawkeye is dispensable).

And the answer is...

I know nobody asks, it's because they don't know the question yet.
For those who already realize the problem, good for you.
For those who haven't, I save you the agony of pilgrimage looking for an answer.

It is a question arouse from me trying to be smart and went to read the 1200-odd-page of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. The book is beautiful; a work of art. But that would be a totally different story.
The book holds the philosophy/conviction that Ayn Rand introduced: Objectivism.
For a long time, I tried to understand the essence of that philosophy, but only lately I can grasp the full meaning of it.
Here it is, in Ayn Rand's very own words:

"My philosophy, Objectivism, holds that:


Reality exists as an objective absolute—facts are facts, independent of man’s feelings, wishes, hopes or fears. Reason (the faculty which identifies and integrates the material provided by man’s senses) is man’s only means of perceiving reality, his only source of knowledge, his only guide to action, and his basic means of survival. Man—every man—is an end in himself, not the means to the ends of others. He must exist for his own sake, neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to himself. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life. The ideal political-economic system is laissez-faire capitalism. It is a system where men deal with one another, not as victims and executioners, nor as masters and slaves, but as traders, by free, voluntary exchange to mutual benefit. It is a system where no man may obtain any values from others by resorting to physical force, and no man may initiate the use of physical force against others. The government acts only as a policeman that protects man’s rights; it uses physical force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use, such as criminals or foreign invaders. In a system of full capitalism, there should be (but, historically, has not yet been) a complete separation of state and economics, in the same way and for the same reasons as the separation of state and church."

There are some kind of people who don't know the difference between an exclamation mark and a question mark.
She is the kind of person who doesn't know the difference between an exclamation mark and a question mark.


And the boys love it.


There's this girl who has been flirting with my bf. That doesn't even bother me. At first.
But theeeen.. she really likes to teach me how to use English. Correcting my sentences and all. I mean, excuse me ma'am, I'm the one who spent 3 years of formal education of Mass Communication and I'm not the one who speaks the hybrid of Engrin (English-Mandarin).
The funny thing is, THAT makes my bf interested in her. Every time she rephrases my sentence, he'd just jump in and express how correct she is. Even my bestie's bf is always all over her that way.
I feel like.... -- nvm, not even important. I'm just amazed every time --THIS is the kind of girls that guys go for?Dumb and bossy; and 'talkative' is an understatement.
Oh sure, she does it in a cutesy, cutesy way. Battling eyelashes laden with mascara, pouting lips you can't kiss cos of thick lip gloss. But, really guys?

Bossy


Just realized that in the working world, being bossy means you'll be promoted as manager very soon.

Damn, dad, why did you have to teach me to be obedient whole my life. Now I have difficulty ordering people around. And in my boss' eyes, I'm "not a manager material. I know one when I see one."

So for kids out there, if you want to be manager very fast, (here in Singapore, anyway) please cultivate your bossiness as early in your life as possible.
