我只卖书，我不给书
I AM A CAPITALIST!


每日一语：

只有资本主义才尊重个人意愿，因而只有资本主义才尊重人的尊严。 没有人应该欠任何人或占有任何人。 这世界上没有所谓的“道德”资本主义，因而也不可能有所为的”道德“社会主义。 资本主义是进步与道德的； 社会主义是邪恶与败坏的。 结论就是如此。 --- 陈凯

Only capitalism respects an individual's free will, thus only capitalism respects human dignity. No one should own and owe anyone. There is no such thing as "moral" capitalism, thus there is never such thing as "moral" socialism. Capitalism is good and moral, socialism is corrupt and evil, period. --- Kai Chen

我不是任何别人希望去获取目的的工具。我不是他们要用的一颗螺丝钉。我不是他们的需求的佣人。我不是他们用来扎绑伤口的绷带。我也不是他们圣坛上的牺牲品。

我是一个人。我存在的这个奇迹是我所占有与保存的，是我去保卫的，是我去利用的，是我去下跪祈求的！

我决不放弃我的宝藏，我也不分享它们。我的灵魂的财产不是去被铸成铜板，抛撒在空中去救济那些丧失灵魂的赤贫者的。我守卫着我的宝藏：我的思想，我的意志，我的自由。这其中最伟大的就是那自由。

我不欠我的兄弟们什么，我也不从他们那里讨债。我决不让别人为我所生活，我也决不为别人所生活。我不垂涎他人的灵魂，他人也休想掠夺我的灵魂。

对我的兄弟们来说，我既不是他们的朋友，也不是他们的敌人。只有他们对我的行为才是我划分朋友与敌人的界线。去赢得我的爱，我的兄弟们不能只是生下来就行了，他们得做值得我爱的事情。我不无缘无故地给予我的爱，也不无缘无故地随意将我的爱施予那些过往索取的人们。我用我的爱去尊敬人们，但尊敬是要人们做事才能赢得的。

我将在人们中选择朋友，而不是选择主子与奴才。我将选择那些使我高兴的人们，我将热爱和尊敬他们，但决不是命令，也不是服从。在我们愿意和希望的时候，我们会携起手来，共同前进，因为在每一个人灵魂的圣殿中，他是孤独的。让每一个人的圣殿不被玷污吧。然后，让他在自己希望的时候与其他人携起手来。但千万别去跨越那圣殿的门槛吧。 --- 安. 兰德

Dear Visitors:

Even among my colleagues on youpai.org, I sense some uneasiness when it comes to capitalism, money, profit motive and self-interest. People are so afraid of being accused of being "greedy", "selfish", "immoral", as though once we, as individuals, get rid of our self-interest, we will somehow become pure, above those "dirty" impulses such as our desires for better food, better housing, better sex, better entertainment....

I hereby very proudly declare to the world:

I AM A CAPITALIST AND I ADHERE TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CAPITALISM.

My book "One in a Billion" will be published in a few months. I will only sell my book at a fair market price. I will never give it away, for charity or for other reasons. If people don't see values in my book, they don't have to buy it. If they buy it, they must have seen some values in it and feel it is worth their money. And I will feel being appreciated by someone that values my book.

If I give my book away to please others, I disrespect myself and others, and in essence I will reduce myself to become a whore, and others beggers.

I have never felt guilty when I was better in basketball than others, and I will never feel guilty simply because I can produce values and make money. On the contrary, I am immensely proud of my ability to create and initiate. I can feel the meaning of my own existence in it.

I will donate my money to some worthy cause of my choice, but never give my own values away as some kind of charity or some kind of good will to please people. I am not that cheap.

I am a capitalist and proudly declare that only God can define my own self-interest. My conscience is clear, not just as a free individual human being, but as a self-interested, profit-motivated capitalist.

资本主义=供求平衡=鼓励创造=奖励天才=创造财富=尊重个人=自由经济=开放市场=全球一体=小政府大社会=最佳用资=最少浪费=理性管理=专业分工=敬业精神=个体自理=个人责任=自负盈亏=多险多得=双赢互利=财富无尽
