A friend of mine told me, 'I guess you've got to go through a lot of nightmares before you realize your dream.

我的一个朋友曾对我说过，‘我估计你在实现你的梦想之前会经历许多的噩梦’现在发生的事对我个人来说就像那种噩梦一样。

His words reminded me of a famous quip by George Carlin, the late, great American comedian - "it's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

他的话让我想起美国最后的喜剧大师乔治·卡林的一句著名的妙语- - -“这就是所谓的美国梦，因为你要在睡梦中才会相信它！”

If you knew me in late 2003 you would say I was the epitome of the American Dream.
