Somehow they remind me of Baz Luhrmans song Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen). Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Eric,

When I was just trying to get my foot in the door of wherever as a freelancer in addition to my day job, I took on terrible jobs where the customer expected 80-90 hours of work for 100 bucks. I finally got over the idea that any money was good money, tripled my rate to be just under what my employer charges for my time, and found every job since has given me customers who actually want someone to help them with design. 90% of the stress of freelancing gone by finding cusomers actually wanting my work, not just needing a logo or a pamphlet.

At the end of the day, her motivation for accomplishing what she did was to have the best railroad and to know she had built it. In many ways, she's becoming an ideal for me that I am working towards. She also typifies #73 in a big way. I highly recommend the book. #75 reminds me of Dagny Taggart from Atlas Shrugged.
