What makes you happy? What is your American Dream?
javery: James Truslow Adams coined the phrase "American Dream" in his 1931 book Epic of America:"The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for every man, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown weary and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."The American Dream has never been about someone owning a car or house or even being happy, its the simple idea that in a society based on equality guys who drop out of college can go on to form some of the most important and most valuable companies in the world.
