The American Dream 2
The basis of this report, which is the pursuit of happiness, and mainly the American Dream, has always been present in the lives of all things living. The feeling of want for something better than what we already have is the foundation of improvement in our world today.

If they hadn't, then they would not have tried to obtain the new corner office space or win that million-dollar prize.
