BUSINESS ON THE EDGE! - The American Dream
Our parents and grandparents came here on this premise. The Europeans, Asians and South Americans inherited that dream. The dream of the grand and endless potential. The land of freedom. The USA has a lot of exposure in the media and endless critique to say the least, about Iraq, Canadian trade violations in pulp to its "laissez-fair" north and South American policy. With China being the new market place and Russia the old - that can't be ignored. One thousand foreign MBA graduates come to train in New York City in a handful of top firms every fall. They are but a few. It goes beyond - from janitors in Brooklyn to mad Indian cab drivers in Manhattan they all share one thing in common - their quest for the American Dream. You have your own interpretation of what that dream is. Now it's time to revive and inspire our creed that brought every American here today and still incites and invokes passion among people worldwide.
