Maybe if you check some sites which know what they're talking about - instead of
your own. Try some like:

http://www.fincher.org/tips/General/SoftwareEngineering/ObjectOrientedDesign.shtml
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming
http://www.awprofessional.com/bookstore/product.asp?isbn=0201824191&redir=1
http://www.objectfaq.com/oofaq2/body/basics.htm

Just for starters.
