![]() Karol, congratulations - glad to see your family doing well!
When you have a family whose well-being (even life and death) depends on you, nothing is going to stop you from doing everything you can to give them your best. I'm sure your parents felt that in their hearts when they migrated ... Best wishes, Alexander Teo Marketing Architect HypnoticProfit.com - Subscribe and Win BIG |

So they have to succeed? That close, Michael? Philip Langley |

![]() > and (often if not usually) can't go back?
> So they have to succeed? > That close, Michael? Kinda close. Remember, not all migrants moved frm place to place during (or after) the war. Not all come from poor countries. Here's what you often see... Migrant arrives in new country. Migrant succeeds. Children of migrants - specially ones born in new country - often end up like every other natural born citizen. Karol's post has some good clues. Michael Ross |

![]() Karol:
Without realizing it, you have mentioned (more than once) what "it" is. I know you don't realize it because you brushed by it so quickly and concentrated on the baby-steps thing. The nature of being a migrant means they have the advantage. It is inherent to migrants. They have no choice. The advantage is thrust upon them whether they like it or not. To see it you have to put yourself in the shoes of a migrant. What do they have and what don't they have, compared to a natural born citizen? Think... if you were going to move to and live in another country... what is stopping you from doing that? What would you arrive with or without - and we're not just talking material possessions.

![]() They Have NOTHING... And Have To Buld Everyhting
1. no cash 2. no clothes 3. no furniture 4. no home 5. no savings (hence, - no 'security') 6. no car 7. no insurance 6. no medical insurance 7. no language 8. no credit history (status) 9. no employment history (status) 10. no rental history (status) 11. no driver's license (and record) 12. NO EXPERIENCE of working-for-a-living in the new country (perhaps this should count as #1) Everything of the above has to be BUILT one-day-one-step-$20-at-a-time. They literally build their lives anew - only this time making choices by THEMSELVES. And this 'I-Have-Nothing' CHALLENGE can be repeated by anyone.... BTW, the close mindset is observed among people that went through bankruptcy... and/or prison... Simon |

Everything you say is true. There is no denying that. However, there is one other thing you did not mention. It is that one other thing I am looking for. Yes. It is frustrating. I am hinting at something. Hotter. Colder. Karol mentions it without realizing it. Okay... here is another clue (of sorts)... The advantage is not something they have per se, it is something they do not have. By not having this something, they have an advantage. Just about every other person in the country has it, but migrants do not. The nature of being a migrant means they do not have it. And for many of the reasons you mentioned. (By the time this is revealed everyone is going to go.... "gawd, is that it" and I'll say "yes" and then run away before you throw things at me.) Michael Ross |

![]() 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. Steve Ski |
