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

Americans are very direct in business as well as in
their private lives. They are more short-term oriented
than Europeans. Therefore, for the time is money.
Wasting time in America is equal to wasting money.
In the US, silence in business meetings is not
considered appropriate. If you have something to
contribute to the topic discussed, you are encouraged
to make your point. I still remember the unwritten
European business rule indicating that “shutting-up”
in important business meetings is “safer.”
For Americans, the glass is always “half-full” instead
of “half-empty.” Their optimism is infectious. This
also affects personal relationships. Problems are
mostly seen as “opportunities” to find new solutions.
The welcoming attitude of Americans is extremely
enjoyable and productive. Their openness,
informality, humor, and friendliness put instantly all
business partners at ease and create an atmosphere of
trust and efficiency.
I also found the aspect of competition in business
very fruitful and important. Additionally, I discovered
that the American “win/win” approach is extremely
productive.
It is absolutely astonishing how much misinformation
and purposely planted lies about working people and
working life in America are dominating Europe. I still
keep reading in the “news” that there is no health
insurance, no jobless benefits, and no social security
in America.
