We must stop talking about the American dream and start listening to the dreams of Americans.

We must stop talking about the American dream and start list

Summary

This quote suggests that instead of continually discussing and defining the concept of the American dream, we should shift our focus to truly understanding and valuing the aspirations and ambitions of individual Americans. It calls for a greater emphasis on listening to the diverse perspectives, hopes, and goals of the people, recognizing and supporting their unique dreams, rather than presuming a collective, universal ideal of the American dream. It promotes the idea of empathy, inclusivity, and giving everyone a platform to articulate and pursue their personal visions for success and fulfillment.

But in that moment when my brother took the field, all that washed away, and everyone was proud... I looked up at my dad, and he was smiling. I looked at my mom, and she was smiling even though she was nervous about my brother getting hurt, which was strange because it was a VCR tape of an old game, and she knew he didn't get hurt.
