As a person who came to the United States as an immigrant the "American Dream" is our main goal. The whole big house with a white picket fence, the fancy car, and having your family with you sharing all the wealth and riches that you have with them is something that most families come for.Once we get here we ask the big question; how do we get to all the things we desire? because we get so sure about the plan we never ask; will we be happy with the things we want to get to?
One thing I have seen in many cases in life, movies and so on and so forth; is that people are not happy with how they live. Although you may have everything you wanted your life is alwyas going to be filled with drama. So much people stop thinking of what really is worth thinking of, which is your family and love.One example is The Great Gatsby; sure he has the mansion, the cars, and all the parties that he desires to have, but he does'nt have the love of his life which makes him live a misarable life, in other words what good did it do him having all that he had.
When you start thinking of the drama money gives you, it's too much to handle. "Never estimate the power of money" people say it to try to make people want to have money because of all the luxurious things you may fill your life-style with; but what this really means is that money has so much power that it can control you if you dont know how to control it. Many people fall from the top to start all over again because of this same reason. Or in other cases people fall from the loving hands of their family to the slums. To me having the American Dream is something I want to reach to with my family all together, and not forget about those who really care about me. Something I will never forget is that happiness is no where near having all the money in the universe, I'm not saying that money is bad its just that we need to keep in mind that its not everything when we are in our way of reaching our goal.
