No one invites you to the top - you have to claw your way up. When you get there, you will sit with the others who were also uninvited - giggling.

About This Quote

Americans love to make fun of the British for their stiff upper lip. But maybe we’ve been thinking about it all wrong. Maybe it’s not that we Brits are too proud to show our feelings - it’s that we just aren't comfortable with the idea that we must work hard for what we want. Americans believe that if you believe in something, you should be able to achieve it.

The American dream is something you can work towards and reach, and once you do, you should be able to take pride in what you’ve achieved instead of having to grin and bear it. Maybe if we all learned a bit more about humility, we wouldn’t be so quick to judge those who seem to have everything.
