The American Dream

The American Dream to me means being able to full-fill one's greatest desires and achieving success in life. Many people associate this "dream" with money, fame and glory. But i argue otherwise. As i was born in a third world country, i have seen and felt many kinds of hardships. And coming to a country such as the United States of America has truly been a blessing. But if there is one thing i have learned through this life experience is that money and fame is not everything. Having things like money and fame is not being successful but a reward for achieving success. It is ment to be a souvenir that reflects on our accomplishments. And the term "The American Dream" is just a word that sums up this defination of success. Some people argue that having money is everything, and it's power is what makes the world go around. But i argue this because if this statement was true then why does Bill Gates get up every morning to go to work? Though he is one of the most richest man alive today, he still works to feel that success. i truly believe that inorder to fullfill this dream, one must first successfully achieve their goals in life.
