It takes much strength to be an individualist; I am in awe of people who are not afraid to voice opinions that differs from the majority, something for which I strife. At times while reading the book “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand, I feel frustrated with Howard Roark who is one of the main characters in the book, for turning away clients that does not want his vision. For Howard caving in, doing what is others expect from architects would make him rich but miserable, so he chose staying poor and having his dignity unlike Peter Keating another main character whose work is approved by the masses but he is still not because he can never be himself.
I cannot wait to see which of these two men will triump in the end- professionally, personally and emotionally.
