The American Dream can mean different things to different people. Some could understand the saying one way while the others disagree. The reality is that there is only one correct meaning to the saying. Success. The American Dream is the opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, determination, and initiative. So as you can see, the American dream is not all about being economically successful. Yes, it does have to do with money but it also has to do with happiness. If you have millions, but you live a sad and depressed life, you are not living the American Dream and you are not successful. Now, if you are living even the ‘middle-class’ and you are happy, then that is what the American Dream is all about. Success isn’t easily achieved, and you will have bumps on the road, but it is not impossible and that is why you should never give up.
It shouldn't be called “The American Dream,” but more like “Strive for Success.” I say this because not only people in the United States should try to be successful, but also everyone around the world should never give up on living a happy life with success written all over it. Success is what the human body is made for. Nobody wants to be poor and unhappy. So this is why pursuing the American Dream is obviously a good thing. Some people may say the American Dream can make you stingy, selfish, arrogant and an a**hole. For this same reason is why we have to think about others and always stay humble.
The American Dream is Success, so we should definitely pursue it because it is a good thing. The American dream is understanded differently around the world; but the truth is that there is only one real definition which is that it is the movement to be successful. It should not be called “The American Dream” because it is not only Americans who should try to be successful. Everyone in the world should try and make a happy and economically good life for themselves. So what do you say? Do you want to become a success or do you want to become a big mess?
