It used to be about making a good life through hard work. Now it's more about making fast money so that you can show off.

I haven't reflected over it, I'm happy where I'm at and has never had a desire to go to the US, not even for a vacation. I see the US as a very selfish and greedy country and I think my dream is that the picture I have of the US will turn out to be incorrect.
