... This national pride shared by American citizens everywhere slowly transformed into self-pride and self-empowerment, the drive to achieve without limits. ... A key part of this American ambition was self-assertion. ... The practice of self-assertion enhances ones competitiveness by societal standards and increases the impact one makes on the world; I plan on making this active part of my life and following the resulting path of progress.
The progress one makes in the practice of self-assertion comes as the result of its key factors, self-interest and the drive to succeed. ... Herein arrives the concept of self-interest. ... Naturally, the drive to accomplish combined with an ambitious self-interest catalyzes a reaction of self-assertion, and produces the result of immense personal progress.
Of course, simply saying that one is self-assertive and wants to progress doesn’t mean that one will progress. One must be self-assertive in every action he undertakes, every event he faces, and every moment of life. ... Through assertiveness, one strengthens the power of the self and its capabilities. ... And if nothing else, then self-assertion will at least help one stand upright and hold his ground, even against all odds.
