Be grateful that America is a multicultural country filled with all kinds of people, traditions, languages, religions, and political beliefs. I know I am.
Consider this:
- Today's immigrants are nearly twice as likely as non-immigrants to launch a business.
- Immigrant founders are behind more than half of the high-tech start-ups in Silicon Valley.
- Immigrants have become more likely than native-born Americans to earn an advanced degree, to invest something, and to be awarded a U.S. patent.
We should be thankful that we have a culture of entrepreneurship that stems from education, thrift, family loyalty, and ambition.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
