The article ''Branding a City – [[New York City|New York, New York]]'' states:
{{Cquote|'''New York’s Brand is a ‘Can-Do’ Attitude'''
As the old saying goes, ‘If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere’ – a saying which has drawn millions of people to the bright lights of New York City. The spirit of success is one that’s a fundamental pull of New York, the idea that with enough drive, hard work, and determination, anything is possible.
This message is everywhere you look – branded on coffee mugs, snow globes, and T-shirts sold on curbside stalls, written into the very concrete of Fifth Avenue and in the walls of the Empire State building. It’s an integral part of the city itself.
While New York City has no competition in this area, as no other city comes close to the can-do vibrancy of the city and the people, there is constant branding reinforcing the idea that success is within reach, no matter where you start. From songs by popular artists to references in movies and novels, New York City easily maintains its position as the place to achieve your dreams.<ref>[https://www.visualfizz.com/blog/branding-a-city-new-york/#:~:text=New%20York's%20Brand%20is%20a,lights%20of%20New%20York%20City.

A forum post on the New York City state of mind similarly states: "New Yorkers do NOT let ANYTHING defeat them, get in their way, or bring them down. They're attitude is do it, do it now, whether you win or lose.... If you lose, do it until you win, which really means until you succeed. This must be something thats worthwhile (or fun), nothing with bad intentions of course. It's the lead, follow, or just get out of the way attitude."<ref>[https://www.askanewyorker.com/phorum/read.php?9,64052 THE New York Attitude (state of mind)]</ref>
