Difference in values?
Actually, you can almost sense who is going to be "successful" based on their possession of these values. I have a new Vietnamese neighbor--he told me that when he came to this country most of his fellow refugees/asylees were too busy worrying about working for someone else--getting a job. He was already thinking of owning apartment buildings. Now, 11 years later, the guy owns acres upon acres of strip malls in LA and San Diego.
No affirmative Action. No massive government subsidies. No "make work" programs. No victim mentality. No bullshit! Just the ability to smell opportunity, the willingness to work hard, the courage to fail, and the ability to see things most other people ignore or can't see. 100% Pure American Success!
