America is a country where people from all backgrounds, colors, religions, and races live. When we talk about non-native citizens of America, the first group of people that comes into mind are Indians. Indians have made a name for themselves in the USA. They have occupied a number of positions in different fields. However, there are many other races that have also made their name in America. Establishing a successful career from the ground up is never simple, especially for people with limited mentorship options and a lack of start-up capital. Despite this, many of the most successful non-Native Americans have developed successful careers with little outside help. These individuals demonstrate time and time again that inventiveness and hard work are frequently the most crucial aspects in making it big in any industry. The following are just a few examples of non-native American success stories.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Who doesn't know the popular "The Terminator" movie star and 80s-90s heart throb. Born in Austria on July 30, 1947, the Austrian bodybuilder/athlete came to the US in 1986. When he came to the USA, he spoke very little English, but despite being a non-native English speaker, Arnold made a BIG name for himself. If anything, his accent worked to his advantage in Hollywood, where his accent set him apart from the rest of the beefcake performers on set. Schwarzenegger's rich Germanic tones made him instantly recognized as a larger-than-life celebrity, and it didn't stop him from achieving his most unbelievable goal: becoming Governor of California.

Parag Agrawal

Mr. Agrawal was born in Mumbai and attended the Indian Institute of Technology, a prestigious technical university, where he studied computer science and engineering. He travelled to the United States in 2005 to pursue a PhD in computer science at Stanford University. The CEO of Twitter might not be very famous to public eyes, but that doesn't make him any less successful. Agrawal has been the Twitter’s chief technical officer since 2017, and even some Twitter insiders have expressed awe at his selection. However, Mr. Dorsey's India-born engineer has been a Twitter pioneer and confidant who has been involved in many of the company's most important decisive projects behind the scenes. Mr. Dorsey talked about Parag in high praises and told the media through his Tweet that Parag was selected through “rigorous” search.
