My American Dream
The USA since proclaiming its independence after the war with the British Empire , have been the subject of alot on envy on the part of many of the peoples of the world. They come in search of the liberties, the freedom, the democratic culture, the equitable judicial system, the opportunities all towards fulfilling the ....American Dream
In the 70's, this dream was summarized as follows ' a chicken in every american pot, a television in every american home and a car in every american garage'. Today, this dream has been transformed, it is becoming lesser and lesser as popular. but why?
i have come in pursuit of that dream. i dont want to believe i have missed out on this. i know dreams last only the time of a nights sleep but i also know from Benjamin E. Mays that
"The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream.
It is not disgrace to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for"
So even though day dawn seems to be fast approaching - implying the end of my dream, i am determined to wake up with a Lexus in my garage, a black berry in by pocket, an iPod in my jacket, an HP notebook on my laps, an xbox 360 for my kid brother, an invitation to the Emmy Awards and an appointment for a talk with Larry King on CNN
