Will you settle for less?

In “Room at the Top”, Laurence Harvey’s character says:
“It’s not what I want. It’s what I’ll settle for.”
Maybe the young have to settle for less in the U.K.
It’s a socialist economy that limits personal initiative.
That’s not true in America, the land of opportunity.
Look at the success of Eastern Europeans and Asians here.
Many come to this country with little money or English.
They work hard for years to become “overnight successes”.
Our friend Nido Qubein came here as a youth with $50.
He learned English only after he arrived.
Nido was smart, ambitious and determined to succeed.
Today he is chairman of his own successful business.
He is the author of bestselling books and CDs.
He is an accomplished, in-demand professional speaker.
He is president of High Point (N.C.) University.
He has raised millions of dollars for the school.
I don’t think Nido ever settled for anything.
When we settle for anything, we limit ourselves.
Dan Kennedy writes in “The Ultimate Success Secret”:
“What you are willing to accept is what you get.”
Dream big. Believe in yourself and your dream.
Develop a plan. Adjust your plan as you need to.
Life teaches us to make necessary adjustments.
Don’t settle for less than achieving your dream.
