The Philosophy...

One part of the book tries to explain one thing that is applicable at every moment of our life..
Whether we should do things as people want it or as your mind says it.
Former one is to please the people, to get their appreciation and the later is for yourself.
It pleases only you. You do it because you want to do it and not because some one else will like it.
Now there is a catch in this... This happens in the story... Peter Keating is the person who does thing only to please others. He has no idea which is original by him. Howard does thing for himself. Or as he see things. In first half of the book Peter becomes a very rich person. Where as Howard is thrown out of college, since he refuse to listen to professor and do things as he likes it. ( college here is of architecture..)..
Now if there happens to be any revolution in architecture, it cannot be by Peter Keating, sice he has no original idea. It has to be person like Howard.
But then are Howard successful in real life????
