Perfektni citat z knizky, kterou jsem nedavno cetl:
We don’t succeed or fail because of fortune or luck. We succeed because we understand the way the world works and what we have to do. We fail because others understand this better than we do.
Knizka neni vubec o businessu. Je to vypoved vezne (tajneho komunistickeho agenta), ktery popisuje valku ve Vietnamu, exil do Ameriky a navrat zpet do Vietnamu a uvezneni od kolegu komunistu. Ale jsou v ni citaty a myslenky, ktere maji obrovskou silu. Treba zrovna ten, ktery jsem vybral mi mluvi naprosto z duse.
Dalsi citat co vybiram je pro imigranty v Americe nebo i druhe generace deti od imigrantu. Taky to ma hloubku, proc v USA nekdo uspeje, je spokojeny nebo se nikdy neprizpusobi a nikdy neni stastny. Je to totiz na tom imigrantovi jak se k zivotu v nove zemi postavi.
You must claim America, she said. America will not give itself to you. If you do not claim America, if America is not in your heart, America will throw you into a concentration camp or a reservation or a plantation. And then, if you have not claimed America, where will you go? We can go anywhere, I said. You think that way because you weren’t born here, she said. I was, and I have nowhere else to go.
