Some Foreigners Maximize the all American Dream
America has always been called the land of opportunity.
Consider how many immigrants come to America today
knowing very little English and having limited formal
education and, yet, they have become successful. Most have
come to America with the right attitudes and the burning
desire to make their lives better and to succeed. I believe
many come believing they will be very successful, as long
as they work very hard.
You can understand why some immigrants are so
successful. Their minds are focused on the will to succeed.
They do not allow thoughts of failure to enter their minds.
The Power of Being Different
149
The immigrant is expected to make good and, ultimately,
he becomes something of a celebrity by all who know him
back home.
Failing to succeed in America for some immigrants is
tantamount to disgrace. To succeed is a matter of “Positive
Expectation.” Some people have great positive visualizations
of what they expect to achieve.
The next time you walk into a business establishment
and see a foreign business owner, just remember how long
and hard he has worked to get that business established. He
may have worked harder than an American citizen because
he had to overcome tremendous obstacles to come to this
country. As you look into his eyes, try to visualize the
dream that drove him to work so hard.
America, the land of opportunity.
