Individuality Is At the Root of The American Dream
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
The American Dream is finding happiness and becoming what you want to be because we have opportunities and choices. Individuality is the root of being happy because if you can't be yourself you can't be truly happy. Some may argue that you don't have to be yourself to be happy or accomplish things. Emerson says that it is the greatest accomplishment to be yourself in a world that tries to make you something else. Conforming just creates a world of 7 billion people who act the exact same and have the same skills. Originality is where life gets exciting, and interesting. Individuality is at the root of being able to take advantage of the American Dream.
