American Dream

American Dream

Barack Obama is the New Symbol of the \"American Dream\" .

The former South African President Nelson Mandela wrote a letter to congratulate Obama: \"Your victory proved that all the world should be for the courage to dream, dare to dream to make this world a better place.\" Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd also cited U.S. human rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King's well-known \"I have a dream\" to congratulate the new President of the United States: \"Today, the United States let this dream come true!\"

What is American dream, I think everyone has his own conception. In my opinion, America dream is a popular belief that hard work will bring forth America's bounty in the form of material well-being. Whoever you are and wherever you were born, you only need to devote yourself to course or business, you will find the life’s bounty. There is a proverb in china, which is “do not ask hero where he comes from.” So, the American dream tells us don’t give up easily and do your best. As the films says: today is present and tomorrow is mystery. If you are going to act it now, you will have the chance to accomplish your dream. Nevertheless the dream still is a dream.
