Actually, "access" is at the core of the American Dream.

"One day we'll make it big!"

What the American Dream sells you is not a good life. It's the promise that you will have "access" to a good life. It's possible. Except that you do all the work.



"From dishwasher to millionaire."

I don't remember who said it, but some journalist/author lamented that the US-Americans do not see themselves as the blue-collar workers they are, but as "temporarily inconvenienced millionaires". Oh, you totally have a shot at being millionaire. Promise.
But that myth steadfastly ignores how much those business-geniuses depend on luck and opportunity to make their fortune.

No, you cannot become a millionaire through hard work. That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works.
The only way to become a millionaire is to have a good idea and to have the opportunity to turn that idea into money.

But in theory you could be a millionaire one day. The "access" is there. Except you have to do all the work by yourself.

3. "Wanting it Bad Enough"

It means never having to say you were lucky that people liked what you had to sell them.
