Objectivism-Philosophy: One of several doctrines holding that all reality is objective and external to the mind and that knowledge is reality based on observed objects and events.
Ayn Rand's philosophy of objectivism encompass positions on metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and historical events.
Objectivism holds that there is a reality independent of the mind, that individuals are in contact with this reality through sensory perception, that they gain knowledge by processing the data of perception using reason or "non contradictory identification", that humans retain their knowledge by organizing concrete into concepts/abstractions based on the essential attributes of the concretes, that the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness or "rational self interest"; and that the only social system consistent with such a morality is laissez-faire capitalism.
Objective thoughts:
Words do not go into a void.
Words have an exact meaning.
The most depraved human being is a man without a purpose.
There is nothing of any importance in life- except how well you do your work. Nothing. Only that. Whatever else you are, will come from that. It's the only measure of human value.
The code of competence is the only system of morality that's on a gold standard.
When you grow up, you'll know pain and ugliness are never to be taken seriously.
At times you can doubt your own rationality, or the existence of any rationality anywhere.
The basic formula of moral corruption is: The impossible conflict of feeling reluctance to do that, which was right.
To recognize one's guilt, yet feel nothing, but the coldest, most profound indifference- this was a betrayal of that, which has been the motor of your life course and pride.
Product is necessary to the existence of a country.
There's no other way to live on earth, men are not open to truth or reason. They cannot be reached by a rational argument. The mind is powerless against them, yet we have to deal with them. If we want to accomplish anything, we have to deceive them into letting us accomplish it, or force them; for they understand nothing else. We cannot expect their support for any endeavor of the intellect, for any goal of the spirit. They are nothing but vicious animals. They are greedy, self indulgent, predatory dollar chasers.
Intelligence? It is such a rare, precarious spark that flashes for a moment somewhere among men, and vanishes. One cannot tell its nature, or its future...or its death....
Contradictions do not exist, whenever you think that you are facing a contradiction, check your premises; you will find that one of them is wrong.

Could one have any meaning without the other?
Between one's senses, between one's insights and desires, language, perception, and homeostasis: "first the vision- then the physical shape to express it".
Your goal after the established purpose : evil that tries to separate the bond, and evil that is mispronounced and misunderstood.
"Stop, Look, Listen"...The power of the living mind, the power of thought and choice, and purpose.
By the essence and nature of existence, contradictions cannot exist.
