Hi Fellow Nepalese,

It is really amazing to read so many comments about the so called topic "NO LIFE IN USA". It is time for a bit of reflection. How true is your statement? For most people this has been the land of opportunity. Why because they go looking for it. It is not going to come looking for you.

For instance Nepalese students or PR holders (thanks to DV lottery) complain about having to work too hard to pay for their tuition as well as accommodations. Hasn’t everyone in this country been doing that? What were all the Hollywood movie watching sessions for? Weren’t you aware of the fact that people need to live their own life and make their own living until they have a stable career. For “crying out loud” it is all shown in the fiction movies of Hollywood as well as many books and so forth. Don’t complain that you weren’t aware of this sort of life when you were in Nepal. If an American born in this country from parents who are not from Nepal can make a life out of this why can’t Nepalese trying to be legal or are legal in United States of America can’t. All you have to do is a bit sacrifice from your side. Give up all those parties, sports cars and bar attending ceremonies. It is of no good. All they are good for is for you to have a thousand dollar debt in your credit card. If you didn’t have social life or were restricted of social life in Nepal why do you have to have it here? I’m not telling everyone not to have social life but limit it to one or two a year or even limit it to once you become successful. There are successful Nepali Americans here. They didn’t become successful easily. They did it by hard work, dedication and commitment and now they can walk shoulder to shoulder with every American in terms of success. Haven’t you guys heard about or seen the Bums in subway stations of New York or social homes. Why are they bums? Because even thought they were born in America they did nothing but chill in their good days. Now they have no job, no hope and no life. So, live in America like a successful American to become a successful Nepali American not like the bum at the street begging which will only give you an ultimate ticket back home to Nepal. Everyone came here with a dream, remember it and live it so that one day you can tell your grandchildren about your journey from Nepal to America (a successful one).

No complain here.

Totally understand the fact that success or opportunities doesn't fall on your lap -- go Grab it.
