The American dream, to me, means having the opportunity to achieve, because I don't think you should be guaranteed anything other than opportunity.
I define the American dream as the ability to imagine a way that you want your life to turn out, and have a reasonable hope that you can achieve that.
The American Dream is about freedom.
The American dream is about freedom.
The American dream is more about opportunity than anything else.
There are those who will say that the liberation of humanity, the freedom of man and mind is nothing but a dream. They are right. It is the American Dream.

I think the American Dream used to be achieving one's goals in your field of choice - and from that, all other things would follow. Now, I think the dream has morphed into the pursuit of money: Accumulate enough of it, and the rest will follow.
To realize the American dream, the most important thing to understand is that it belongs to everybody. It's a human dream. If you understand this and work very hard, it is possible.
The American Dream is independence and being able to create that dream for yourself.
