The following was taken from the book 7 Moments That Define Excellent Leaders by Lee J. Colan
A friend's grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being processed at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order.
Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him how a cafeteria worked. "Start at that end," she said. "Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At the other end , they'll tell you how much you have to pay."
"I soon learned that's how everything works in America," the grandfather told my friend. "Life's a cafeteria. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price of learning. You can even get success, but you'll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself."
