Even before America got its name, people believed in the concept of the “American Dream.” Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the American Dream as “a happy way of living that is thought of by many Americans as something that can be achieved by anyone in the U.S., especially by working hard and becoming successful.”
The question is, what truly defines the term successful? Do people have different ideas of what it means to find success in life?
A general idea of this is having a nice house, car, a great career, money, family and many more extravagant things in life. These things are not bad to have, but are they really what makes a person a success?
