Life Is Like a Cafeteria
A friend's grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe . After settling down at Ellis Island , he went into a cafeteria in lower Manhattan to get something to eat . He sat down at an empty table and waited for some one 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 out at that end ," she said . "Just go along the line and pick out what you want . At the
other end they' lI tell you how much you have to pay."
"I soon learned that's how everything works in America , " the grandfather told a friend
Life's a cafeteria here . You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price . You can even get success . But you' ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you . You have to getup and get it yourself
In fact , life is like a cafeteria . Dont wait for things to happen to youSuccess lies in your own hands.
一个朋友的祖父从东欧到美国来，在爱丽丝岛安顿下来后，他去曼哈顿的一家自助餐厅吃饭。他在一张空桌子边坐下，等待侍者拿来菜单。
当然没有人来招呼他最后一位女士，拿着满满的一托盘食物走过来，坐在他对面，并告诉他自助餐厅是怎样进餐的。
她说：“出去排队，到你的时候给你想要的东西，在另一头服务生会告诉你该付多少钱。”
祖父对一个朋友说：“接着我很快了解到，这就是美国人的行事方式。”
生活就像自助餐，你可以去要你想要的任何东西，只要你能付得起他的价格，你甚至可以想要成功，但是如果你什么都不做，等着别人能把他送到你身边的话，是永远都不可能做到的，你必须主动出击自己去追求它。
事实上，生活就像一个自助餐厅。你不要等待事情自动发生在你身上。成功掌握在你自己的手中。
