A Love Letter to America
The latest book by Pierre A. Kandorfer reveals an open secret of our life. The secret of the American spirit. It is titled “A Love Letter to America” and is written by somebody who loved the American Dream when he was still in a High School in Europe decades ago. In my vision of the American Dream, America is the only place where a poor, helpless “nobody” had a chance to live a decent life or even to become a millionaire. America appeared to us Europeans as the only society where anybody could generate his own fortune following the American spirit, this is with hard work, proper self-discipline, and limitless determination. Only in America, we were told as kids, such things are possible, and we believed that deeply. At the end of WW2, we did not have to look far-away for the proof. At that time, everything good came from America. The US rescued us from Hitler’s tyranny, fed us, helped us politically and economically to survive the terrible aftereffects of the war. What has been totally forgotten, America also gave the war-ravaged European countries, especially Germany, the vision and practical help to establish their own democratic political systems. At that time, the US Constitution was considered the ideal form of people-oriented government form. I still remember the enthusiasm of my High School teacher praising everything American. Pierre Kandorfer is a veteran journalist with thirty-five years of a media background. He wrote thousands of articles, hundreds of TV programs, and a dozen books such as “You Don’t Know Who You Really Are,” “No More Doubt – Science Confirms the Bible,” “Whom Can We Still Trust,” “Fight Back Manual,” “Find Peace of Mind or Lose Your Mind,” in addition to some media textbooks. Pierre’s books are available at NeverGiveUpYourDream.US Amazon and other booksellers

Corresponding to Aristotle, virtue must be based on a
just objective, it requires action, and it must become a
habit. In order to sustain liberty, individuals must be
knowledgeable and must conduct themselves
according to principles of moral and ethical
excellence, consistent with their rights and
obligations.
The difference between America and Europe
Many Europeans deny American exceptionalism.
They claim the way all people with a Marxist
worldview do, “every nation is exceptional.” Of
course, every nation has some particular features or
nation-specific attributes no other nation can claim.
This, however, is not “exceptionalism.” This is just
“diversity” and the particular character of each nation,
starting with its own language, customs, or habits.
Americans and Europeans share many commitments
to fundamental democratic principles. At the same
time, they have very different perspectives on
individualism, free expression, morality, religion, and
the role of the government.
• Americans believe much more in the control
of their own destiny. Most US citizens believe
that self-discipline and hard work is the most
important factor to improve your life.
Europeans, on the other side, think that their
success is pretty much determined by forces
outside their control.
