Default Could it be...

Expectations? They see nothing but opportunities to get ahead so they take action and do while others see nothing but obstacles. The law of attraction...what you focus on most is what you tend to get.

Thanks for forcing me to think Michael. That's what I love about SOW!

If you just came right out and told everyone it would go in one ear and out the other. By making us think, we will get more out of the thing you're looking for.

Default Re: Could it be...

Steve,

I agree with you. Its like a child who believes in dreams and make believe. They believe without a doubt that dreams do come true because they have not had their minds closed by adult thinking.

Migrants give up everything they have: friends, relatives, familiar surroundings and knowledge of how their part of the world works.... for..

A better life. "The land of opportunity".

Why?

Because they don't know they can't.

Hi Rick, It seems that Michael is looking for something else. Something they and the rich share that most never get until late in life if at all. What is it about Karol's post that implies it?

The fact that his parents risk everything they had for a chance to create a better life?

Or that they had the self-discipline to stay focused and do what they knew would bring them closer to their goals?

Are Migrants and the rich both risk takers while their offspring often are not willing to assume risk?

Do the rich and Migrants practice self discipline while often times their children don't? Sure makes you think doesn't it?

Getting warmer. What would they practice self-discipline in though? Not eating chocolate? :o)

Here's a hint... two people in this thread have now got it. :o)

By coming to a new country they do see all the opportunities that those living there do not see. This is true.

And while that is an advantage to some degree. These same opportunities are sometimes just reveal outright to natural borns.

Default Advantage is 'No Advantages'

The advantage a migrant has is the advantages natural borns have. 'Nothing' is the advantage. It's like starting a new life. $20 is a big deal when you're starting from zero. Things only get better. There's only one way - UP!
After all these discussions, anyone here wants to be a migrant? :-)

Alexander:

I'd like to see you take this line of thought further.

Migrants are starting from zero - as you say. So why it that an advantage over most people in society?

As for wanting to be a migrant?

Not sure people would want to be a migrant per se. As that would mean leaving their country of birth. And a lot of people are quite happy living in he country they were born in.

However, I feel a lot would actually like to start anew from where the migrant starts. Why would that be?

Default A Mind Once Stretched Re: The Advantage of No Advantage

"A mind once stretched by a new idea never regains its original dimensions."

Michael, you're amazing to make us think, thanks -I wonder if you 'torture' people around you this way :-)

Immigrants have cultivated a THINKING PROCESS/HABIT of living on essentials with the money they have back in their country. When they arrive in the 'better' new country, not only they have no debt, they CAN live on 'minimum wages' (minimum wages IN THE NEW COUNTRY - could be MAXIMUM back in their country) because that's
what they have been doing.
