[update] Well, the tweet was deleted, as well as any discussion of it, by Anne C. Heller, so I guess we can assume it was a fake quote, but that she didn’t actually confirm its authenticity before posting it. Not a good sign for the reliability of the upcoming book. [/update]
“The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.”
According to Anne C. Heller, that’s an Ayn Rand quote, but I’m not familiar with it. Does anyone out there know the source for this quote? It’s also quoted on the web, but I haven’t seen any specific attribution beyond “Ayn Rand”.
To my knowledge, Ayn Rand never said or wrote the above. I didn’t post it, but it may have been posted by an overeager publicity person who was helping me with Twitter during my first few days using it (Twitter). I’ll see what I can do to track down the quote.
