This city (NYC) truly is a great example of what we as humans are capable of accomplishing. There are dreams walking these streets. There are dreamers walking these streets.  New York City is truly an incubator for hopes and dreams.  The “American Dream” as cliche as it may sound thrives in New York City.  The United States is undoubtedly the nation of opportunity and equality.  Not everyone has the same experiences but everyone has the same equal opportunity. There are countless stories that display the success of this nation in helping anyone and providing literally any American citizen the hope and opportunity to live out there dreams. 

 I’m in New York this week on business and will bring you many pictures of the city in a post forthcoming.

Addition to this post 10/30/07:

I would like to take back a portion of this post and clarify.  A reader made critic of this post (offline) that my claim that everyone has “the same equal opportunity” is a false claim.  After some thought and review of the wording of this post I agree with the readers critic.  Not everyone in the United States has the same equal opportunity.  Things like location of birth, parents financial and social status, and ethnicity are just a few things that can make ones opportunites not equal to anothers.  However, I would like to say that I honestly believe that everyone in the US has the opportunity to succeed.  The American dream does live and especially in a place like New York City. Everyone will face different challenges, different speed bumps but this country gives everyone the tools and freedom to chase that dream and make it come true. 

Every American has the opportunity to ‘Live the Dream’.
