"Excuse me, sir? I'm looking for a job. In fact, I've made up my mind to find a career I can learn and grow into. Who am I? I'm a hard worker, I set high goals, and I've been told that I am persistent. Now, I'm not fooling myself, sir. Having been raised with the self-esteem movement so popular in schools, I used to expect my needs to be considered. But I know that today's work culture no longer caters to the job loyalty that could be promised to earlier generations. What I believe, sir, is that good things come to those who work their asses off and that good people -- such as yourself -- who reached the top of the mountain didn't just fall there. My motto is: If you want to win the lottery, you have to make the money to buy a ticket."
