Gatsby- Chapter 3

My idea of "the good life," is far different from the mentality during the Roaring 20's. In the 1920's, this lifestyle entailed endless designer clothing, glamorous cars, and living in the "fast lane". This era heavily valued money, social status, and material possessions.

In my mind, living the good life means achieving the goals I set for myself, progressing as a person, and striving to do the best at what I do. I define this lifestyle by pure joy and happiness in everyday life. "The good life," consists of loved ones, success(sometimes without monetary gains), and learning new things everyday.

My life is stimulated by the desire to always become a more helpful and compassionate person, while aiming to complete the personal and career goals I define.
