In fact, the US still receives far more immigrants each year (about 1 million). The very definition of an immigrant is someone who is motivated enough to leave their current circumstances to seek out better opportunities somewhere else. Newcomers are fighting for the American dream, which contains both material and spiritual values. The notion means an ideal of freedom or opportunities, formulated by founders of the country. It is basically too varied as well as too vague, what makes difficult to define exact principles. The point is that the US is usually connected with the “self-made person”. No matter what a social status or life circumstances are, everybody has equal chances to become successful in case of hard work.
Why America is Great Again and Again?

veryone knows that with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the US became the only superpower in the world. What does the superpower really mean and how America became a superpower? A superpower is defined as a country that has global influence over others in cultural, technological, military and political spheres. No global question can be decided without the US intervention. President Abraham Lincoln called the US “last, best hope of earth.” Can people make sure in the leader`s words now or it still has much to advance?
To start with, the country has the world’s longest functioning democracy, which includes individual autonomy as well as equality and freedom. The principles of democracy are imparted from the very childhood in kindergartens, schools and families, what makes it the part of the system of certain values. Mature Americans believe that only by their own productive work they can achieve their goals. Not surprisingly that the headquarters of the
United Nations is situated in New York. The Organisation is an ideal example of human rights` and equality support. They share similar values as the
leading country in the world. In the same time, the Organization has become a mechanism for government to find areas of agreement and solve problems together.
One can live the whole life, coming to work every day with a productivity-goal.
If workers are motivated and educated enough, the economy
gets developed faster. This brings us to the topic of higher education. What if I asked you to name the top-notch universities in the world? For sure, computer programmers and engineers would answer Massachusetts Institute of Technology or California Institute of Technology, economists and businessmen would name Stanford University, and Harvard University would without any doubts come to politician`s mind, as the latest can be proud of eight US presidents. One of the reasons for such excellent results of the students is brain drain. The term is used to mark the immigration process of the most outstanding and desirable scientists and professionals.
It is important to mention that the US provides the right of asylum for those afraid of coming back to Motherland because of either past or future prosecution. Historically, the country has welcomed leading brains from various continents and promoted their development. The mix of ideas and ground works has led the US to the place of foremost high technologies, concentrated in the dream-place – the Silicon Valley.
From the other perspective enormous number of intelligent inhabitants creates high level of competitiveness: worker stake part in a struggle to beat the competition in the given conditions. The moment you stop, your colleague uses in a way to accomplish the task and succeed. Nobody gets time to computer-face and waste time. The best example of work-competition can be seen on the Wall Street, where white-collar workers labour at stock exchanges. The work with information means per-second following the trends of stock prices and quick reaction. Professionals measure their results as a percentage, because their income is about millions and millions of dollars. The impact on the US economy is obvious.
This way, the number of millionaires, including self-made millionaires, is astonishing: out of the
117 million households in the USA, there are more than 1 million of them (almost 1 in 10) who have more than a million dollars in assets (not counting their houses). Is the key in productivity of an individual or in the forceful economy? The answer still needs to be found by your own, because it depends on you and your perception of the world.
The United States has a First World trade profile
America represents the massive exports of consumer and technology goods and imports of natural resources. Both import and export form the basis of international economic relations. Export products are often optimized for sale internally. The US export wares are considered to be in high demand because of supreme quality, trust, large selection, profitability as well as stable economy in the country. It is crucial to note that the US is the best in arms exports among the ninety nations, having the most powerful military in the world in the same time.
Considering entertainment, the USA certainly makes good its running. The industry of cinema and music experience thousands of castings each day testing actors, musicians and models. Why the American music is world known? The reason is in uniqueness and extraordinary rhythms. Elements of folk idioms such as blues were borrowed and transformed into popular genres with a global audience. Respectively, the USA definitely should blow its own trumpet. Artists of different genres have the freedom of opinion and expression. Having started with the very first movie in the world, the US advanced in running the powerful studios, such as 20th Century Fox, Columbia Pictures, DreamWorks, Paramount Picture and many others. Now the highest budget films are created by leading directors and producers: David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, David Fincher.
Last but not least, America is mostly the top-country which wins all the great sport competitions: the FIFA World Cup, the Olympic Games and the Super Bowl. The latest is the annual championship game of the National Football League, the highest level of professional American football in the United States. Teamwork, mutual aid, a feeling of elbow, the willingness of players to sacrifice personal fame in the name of the triumph of the team - all of these are immutable components of success in big football. US athletes won the largest number of medals in the entire history of the Olympic Games - more than 2500 total, including more than 1000 gold.The National Basketball Association (NBA) is widely considered to be the premier men’s professional basketball league in the world. Americans usually succeed in those sports that they invented or in which they are leaders from the very start. The county definitely has the right to proud, hasn`t it?
In conclusion, the U.S. is an exceptional nation-a nation all others look to for leadership, no matter what the point is: economy, politics, culture, education or infrastructure. If one seeks to find a pacemaker, the USA will always be glad to take it in his arms. Almost 46 million Americans were born in another country. This is no doubt a big part of the reason that it leads in so many other categories above. Leading by example is the best way to lead others, yet it is far too often overlooked. The important matter is to set challenges without any stops because once somebody loses, someone else wins!
Now, let's just be the observers (catch your emotion and decide how to act next). Who do you see in the picture below?! I am assuming that you see a fast walking stylish woman who wears bright clothes (she is not afraid to be seen), holding a planner (you may think that she likes to plan and values her time. In the reality, it's her product, and she published it probably because she plans everything ahead). She SMILES, which makes you feel safe to say "Hi" and start the conversation. LOVEMARK RULE N1: Let your personality speak louder than the words about what you have to offer.
🌜I am a Ukrainian woman living in Los Angeles spreading my love, knowledge, and experience with others who are like me: want to be happy, and fulfilled… BUT it wasn’t always like this. 🌜I struggled for years with anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-hate, and false belief of being unlovable, or lovable but CONDITIONALLY (my childhood was pretty f*cked up and I had to grow up fast). 🌜I established my 1st business at the age of 18 in Ukraine and made more money than I made in the USA in the first 2 years of immigration. I invested the money I made IN myself: I immigrated at the age of 21 to a foreign land where I knew nobody to obtain my Master's Degree. 🌜Before immigration, I'd been into emotional&physical abusive relationships with an alcohol addict (you attract what you think you deserve). 🌜For 23 years of my life, I was overcompensating my childish misery with labels, diplomas, money, and achievements. I had a dream to work in the UN just for the working title (it calls overcompensation).
The happiest people are not those who experience blissful feelings, but those with the most stable positive outlook.
We, women, are powerful, strong, inspiring, and we have a gift to connect with others through the spoken word in different ways. The goal of the speech may be to educate, entertain, or influence the listeners. I would love to share my experience of being a part of the women speakers training "Phenomenal Woman" by Sonia Maslovskaya, the aim of which was the confidence boost and communication skills improvement. If you are like me, continuously work on yourself, then my experience of the public speaking class will be useful for you.

Well-being helps us stay resilient, build social support and self-efficacy, and cope with adversity. But what exactly is the well-being and if it's so good for us, how do we get more of it?
Each action starts with a thought and moral set. Leaving the hometown is like declining from your comfort zone. Why the abundance of people is ready for this step? Do they usually look for new opportunities or just running away from the previous life?
Do the goals unite people, while very often, problems, challenges and troubles unite people. Didn’t you notice that?
In the American Journal of Psychology it is defined in this way: "A habit, from the standpoint of psychology, is a more or less fixed way of thinking, willing, or feeling acquired through previous repetition of a mental experience." Habits are routines of behavior that are repeated regularly and tend to occur subconsciously. Believe me or not, but how happy, successful and fulfilled you are in your life is the result of your habits.
