American Dream
I talked to my friend Serife yesterday about dreams. She’s Turkish. We were talking about how big things happen when you have big dreams, and nothing special happens when you don’t dream of anything special. I ragged on Americans (myself included) about how we are a lazy culture, and since everything is at our finger-tips, we don’t know how to try for anything. That’s why test scores decline and we get fat and lazy. She said something interesting. She said that it is the dream of so many people all over the world to live and work in America. That’s their huge dream. She said that since we already have that, we don’t need to dream. I disagree, but it was an interesting thing to hear my friend say.
