First, let's get one thing out of the way if you're coming from Europe of South East Asia bad choice for places to come to live but your hands are probably tied. So I will be 100% honest with you and tell you what I can for advice from what I learned.
Okay so you come to Merica now what about the culture or work or mentality or laws, so let's start with Merican culture first there is no set standard, in fact, there is no official language for the great states. But if you can consider how Americans think it's that they are better than every country and can bomb and kill whoever they want(no joke many people think this way, not me or many other Americans but a lot do) it's all about power and wealth here my friend. Oh and super sizes for food of course so if you want a short answer to fit in here of course that's a slight exaggeration. But seriously I would like to note again not all American are ignorant and stupid just most.
Okay, let me really go into detail about how to fit in. One this culture is about work, power, and status. General American work more hours than in Europe, and laws are not as good here either.
So really culture wise you don't have to change because they are many cultures here, but you're probably saying okay what about anything else.
Well, one law changes a lot or not, for instance, my state will eliminate all plastic bags in stores within a year in a half, but not all state has the same laws.
首先，如果你来自欧洲和东南亚，那么我们有一件事要避免，那就是避免居住地点选择不当，但你的手可能会被束缚。所以我会百分之百诚实地告诉你我能从中学到什么建议。
好的，那么你现在来美国，关于文化、工作、心理或法律，我们先从美国文化开始，没有固定的标准，事实上，诺达的一个州是没有官方语言的。但是，如果你能考虑一下美国人是如何认为他们比每个国家都好，可以随心所欲地轰炸和杀害任何人的（很多人都这么认为，不是开玩笑，不是我或其他许多美国人，而是很多人这么认为），那么我的朋友这里的一切都是关于权力和财富的。哦，当然还有超大号的食物，所以如果你想要一个简短的答案来适应这里当然这有点夸张。但说真的，我想再次指出，不是所有的美国人都是无知和愚蠢的，只是大多数。
好吧，让我来详细谈谈如何融入。这种文化是关于工作、权力和地位的。一般美国人的工作时间比欧洲多，这里的法律也不那么完善。
所以从文化角度来说，你不必改变，因为这里有很多文化，但你可能会说，好吧，还有什么其他的呢。
嗯，一项法律是否会带来很大变化，例如，我所在的州将在一年半内淘汰商店中的所有塑料袋，但并非所有州都颁布相同的法律。

Be smart do your research
Learn that not one thing is right or wrong here, things are based state by state and culture example(SJW(not all are like this but some are extremist that give SJW a bad name) will tell you your a rapist and evil because your a man) so get over it or not assuming your a male or female I am not sure and honestly I don't care because people may think otherwise but your gender isn't gonna affect what I'm saying anyway.
Educate yourself or get more skills and find a good job if you work in the public sector it can be a very easy and reliable job, I cannot stress how important a good education and skills are here it's not a want but a necessity
Be careful with meeting new people some people are awesome and others are bigots or robbers
To be American always make sure to supersize your meals and gain at least 70 pounds
Be prepared to work 40 hours or more a week and have shitty pay for your first jobs
聪明地做你的研究
要知道这里没有一件事是对的或错的，事情是以各州为基础的，文化的例子（社会正义战士（并非所有的都是这样，但一些极端主义者给社会正义战士一个坏名声）会告诉你你是强奸犯，因为你是男人，所以你是邪恶的），所以不管你是男是女，我都不确定，老实说，我不在乎，因为人们可能会有不同的想法，但你的性别无论如何都不会影响我说的话。
让自己接受教育或获得更多的技能并找到一份好工作，如果你在公共部门工作，此工作可以是一个非常容易和可靠的工作，我不能强调良好的教育和技能在这里有多么重要，这不是需要，而是必须的。
结识新朋友时要小心一些人很厉害，另一些人是偏执狂或强盗。
要想成为美国人，一定要确保你的膳食超大，体重至少增加70磅
准备好每周工作40个小时或更长时间，并且第一份工作的薪水很低

Get more educated learn about stocks and business that's what America is made of
The hard truth is the rich are rich and most a poor of course the only way not to be poor is to have some kind of good degree or really valuable skill many people are desperate for work so if you don't have a good education back to step 3
Save for many painfully long year's buy a house that you will owe a mortgage to for 30 years and get a wife some kids drink some beers outside and live the American dream.
Okay, final step your living the American dream and have a beautiful house and family, now go on Quora and answer some question so people can think your crazy but in all seriousness, many of these steps I listed are important.
P.S. sorry for grammar and even though I joked about something I meant what I said about many of the steps and how crucial education is here and working and struggling to succeed so I wish you luck and I probably didn't answer ai best I could but honest but you taking the effort to ask this question ensures me you'll do find may luck be forever in your favor,
接受更多教育，了解股票和商业，这就是美国的组成部分
严酷的事实是，富人都是富人，而大多数人都是穷人。当然，不贫穷的唯一途径就是拥有某种好的学位或真正有价值的技能。许多人都渴望工作，所以如果你没有受过良好的教育，就又回到第三步。
历经多年痛苦攒钱，你将欠30年的抵押贷款，娶个老婆，生几个孩子，在外面喝点啤酒，实现美国梦。
好的，最后一步，你要实现美国梦，拥有一个美丽的房子和家庭，现在去Quora，回答一些问题，这样人们会认为你疯了，但说真的，我列出的许多步骤都很重要。
我对糟糕的语法感到抱歉，尽管我开玩笑说了一些事情，但我说的很多步骤和教育是多么重要，我是认真的，工作和奋斗都是为了成功，所以我祝你好运，我可能没有尽我所能回答，但诚实地说，你努力问这个问题的状态让我确信好运永远眷顾你。

Have a goal: what do you want to do? what did you come here for? to make more money? meet a girl? Be a famous movie star?whatever it may be make sure you have a goal to see progress, celebrate milestones . This is single handedly the most important step. You need a good structured plan on how you will progress and make it to your goal and how you will get there.
Education? Whatever it is you need a goal Education education education. huge priority.
Stable living conditions: quality house, good car , good family well being ect.
Choosing the right city : Assuming you are a immigrant try to live in the biggest cities or metropolitan areas where there are alot of different races andgroups. The best place to start would be southern california or northern california. But some other good places are seattle washington, austinTX, Las vegas nevada, New york city. Chicago, new jersey , or any major metro city on the east coast. These cities have alot of opportunity
Avoid these states: Utah montana wyoming, idaho, and northern nevada. These states are a big no no they lower moral .also there is some racism here to be careful.
有一个目标：你想做什么？你来这里干什么？为了赚更多的钱？遇到一个女孩？成为著名的电影明星？无论是什么，都要确保你有一个看到进步、用来庆祝里程碑式的目标。这是最重要的一步。你需要一个良好的结构化计划，说明你将如何进步，如何实现目标，以及你将如何做到。
教育？不管是什么，你都需要一个目标。巨大的优先级。
稳定的生活条件：优质的房子，好的汽车，好的家庭福利等。
选择正确的城市：假设你是移民，试着生活在最大规模的城市或大都市地区，那里有许多不同的种族和群体。最好从南加州或北加州开始。但其他一些不错地方是西雅图华盛顿、奥斯汀、拉斯维加斯内华达、纽约市。芝加哥、新泽西或东海岸的任何主要大都市，这些城市有很多机会。
避开这些州：犹他州、蒙大拿州、怀俄明州、爱达荷州和内华达州北部。这些州不大，人们道德低下。这里也有一些种族主义需要小心。

Manage money well. Materialism is americas popular poison. Do not be distracted or waste your money on useless junk over quality items
Hope this helps if you have any other questions PM me or comment :)
永远100%地实现你的目标和梦想。不要懈怠，不要浪费时间。你必须总是前进，超越自我。如果你对自己放松一点，如果你注定要做医学生，要知道这里的每个人都在努力达到你需要与他们竞争的目标。这是一个非常重要的步骤，不要放松对自己，不要浪费时间。
永远不要挨饿，永远不要失去希望。我经历过更糟的，也见过更糟的。因果报应在这里是很明显的。
管理好资金。物质主义是美国流行的毒药。不要分心，也不要把钱浪费在无用的垃圾上，而应该获得高质量的物品。
如果你有任何其他问题，请私信我或评论，希望这对你有所帮助。

It really depends on what paperwork you brought here. Do you own property offshores, no criminal record, have a higher education, good career experience or known multiple languages? If so, you’re a bit closer than the average American.
However, you need to get your feet on the ground first. Start with the basics by getting a place to stay, finding a job and getting familiarized with that area. If you’ve got that, focus on your job and look at other job opportunities at the same time. I say that, because you want to find something that suits skills and profession.
As for the having assets, maybe you could get in touch with someone back at your old home. If no one is living there, think about renting it out and have a trusted person handle it until you can personally. That way, you will have additional cash flow coming in for you and your goals.
Just be aware, the term, “American Dream” can be a trap, so many seek to find wealth and success in a world of so few wealthy. That is not to say you won’t be successful it just might be a good idea to stick to realistic goals like home/vehicle ownership, good living wages and a job you enjoy.
The reality to the dream is in how happy and well off you are as a person. You don’t need fancy cars, watches, clothes and material items to be happy.
Just a nice companion, cozy home and peace.
这真的取决于你带来的文件。您是否拥有离岸财产、无犯罪记录、受过高等教育、有良好的职业经验或懂多种语言？如果是这样的话，你比普通美国人更容易获得成功。
然而，你需要先脚踏实地。从基础开始，找个地方住，找份工作，熟悉那个地区。如果你做到了这一点，那么专注于你的工作，同时考虑其他工作机会。我这么说是因为你想找到适合你的技能和职业的事情。
至于拥有资产的问题，也许你可以和你老家的人联系。如果没有人住在那里，考虑把它租出去，让一个值得信任的人来处理，直到你能亲自处理为止。这样，你就会有额外的现金流来为你和你的目标提供保障。
请注意，“美国梦”这个词可能是一个陷阱，很多人都在一个富人寥寥无几的世界里寻求财富和成功。这并不是说你不会成功，只是坚持现实的目标可能是个好主意，比如拥有住房/汽车、不错的工资和你喜欢的工作。
梦想的现实在于你作为一个人有多幸福。你不需要依靠漂亮的汽车、手表、衣服和物质的东西来获得快乐。
只是需要一个好伴侣，舒适的家和和平。

There are an infinite number paths to success - you can read the stories of successful people in the US and find many different and unique stories. The most common and practical advice that I know of is:
Be positive - I don't know if being an optimist is a choice or if it's something you're born with but it's a great gift.
Keep going - most people give up not realizing that they were only a short distance from their goal.
Be giving and helpful to others - most success comes because you have found a way to meet the needs of others and in so doing you (or the things you do or produce) become very valuable and eventually you will be rewarded for that value that you bring.
Best wishes
通往成功的道路有无数条——你可以阅读美国成功人士的故事，找到许多不同和独特的故事。据我所知，最常见和最实用的建议是：
积极一点——我不知道成为一个乐观主义者是一种选择，还是一种与生俱来的东西，但这是一种伟大的天赋。
继续前进——大多数人放弃了，没有意识到他们离目标只有很短的距离。
给予他人并帮助他人——大多数成功都是因为你找到了满足他人需求的方法，这样你（或你所做或生产的东西）就会变得非常有价值，最终你会因为你所带来的价值而得到回报。
致以最良好的祝愿。

Since nobody has given the simple and obligatory answer, I'll do it, even if it is a bit cynical and trite, MONEY.
"Life is a game. Money is how we keep score." ~Ted Turner
"It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another." ~Gordon Gekko, Wallstreet
Life is a zero-sum game and money is how we keep score, it's how we determine who's winning and who's losing; and for all practical purposes, it's how most(if not all) of us define success, even if we say otherwise.
People will disagree with me and that's fine, I disagree with the above statement myself, but it's undoubtedly true, we do live in a capitalistic society. And if actions speak louder than words(and I think they do), observe what people do, not what they say, then ask yourself why they would do them.
The simplest and most obvious answer has got to be, to "win," to achieve some degree of success, what they consider success.
既然没有人给出简单而强制性的答案，我会追求钱—即使这有点玩世不恭和陈腐，。
“生活是一场游戏。金钱是我们得分的方式。”—特德·特纳
“这是一场零和游戏，有人赢，有人输。钱本身不是输或赢，它只是从一种认知转移到另一种认知。”—戈登·盖柯，华尔街
生活是一场零和游戏，金钱是我们得分的方式，是我们决定谁赢谁输的方式；就所有实际目的而言，这是我们大多数人（如果不是所有人）定义成功的方式—即使我们不这么说。
人们会不同意我的观点，这没关系，我自己也不同意上述说法，但毫无疑问，我们确实生活在资本主义社会。如果行动胜于雄辩（我认为他们确实如此），观察人们做了什么，而不是他们说了什么，然后问问自己他们为什么要这么做。
最简单和最明显的答案必须是“赢”，以取得某种程度的成功，即他们所认为的成功。

Observe what people will do(or what they will not do), how they will abandon all moral and ethical standards for the sake of making a buck. I have personally seen people do, at my expense, what I would consider unimaginable things to make money. I'm talking about outright lying, cheating, and stealing; I truly could not believe what was happening, even when I saw with my own eyes, and heard it with my own ears, it was beyond appalling, in fact, I couldn't even comprehend it at the time.
How many people having very little to no money are considered successful? Not many that I can think of.
Maybe this is the best way for me to put it: How many people do you know who aspire to the success of being completely broke and lacking of all money?
And how many people aspire to be super rich?
Now, whether this is happiness is a completely different question.
I guess I'll end with Dale Carnegie: "Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get."
观察人们会做什么（或他们不会做什么），他们怎么会为了赚钱而放弃所有的道德和伦理标准呢。我亲眼见过有人为了赚钱，不惜牺牲我的利益，做我认为不可思议的事情。我说的是彻头彻尾的谎言、欺骗和偷窃；我真的不敢相信发生了什么事，即使我亲眼看到，亲眼听到，那也太可怕了，事实上，当时我甚至无法理解。
有多少人只有很少的钱甚至没有钱，却被认为是成功的？我想不出多少。
也许这是我说的最好的方式：你知道有多少人渴望成功而身无分文？
有多少人渴望成为超级富豪？
现在，这是否是幸福是一个完全不同的问题。
我想我会以戴尔·卡内基（DaleCarnegie）的话作为结尾：“成功就是得到你想要的。幸福就是想要你得到的。”

Paul Capps, I live in the U.S
There is lots of different answers, really it's your point of view. If you are what I call a secularist, then it's having lots of followers on Instagram, or be really good looking. Others say it's about the differance you make in the world. I side with the latter.
有很多不同的答案，这是你的观点。如果你是我所说的世俗主义者，那就是在Instagram上有很多粉丝，或者长得很好看。另一些人则说，成功是关于你对世界的影响，我支持后者。

An unending commitment to success despite multiple failures and losses.
In the United States, everything tends towards growth and progress. That’s the way it is. But if you stop trying, then your personal progress and growth towards success stops.
Never say to yourself in the United States or as an American, “There’s no way I can ever _________.” Fill in the blank with anything: own a home, earn six or seven figures per year, have kids, find my partner in life, and so forth. If you really want it, you can get it in the United States, so long as you never give up.
But it’s so easy to give up, and to think the people who have success were born into it because of their background or ethnicity, therefore what’s possible for some isn’t possible for you. In many countries that’s most likely true, but not in the United States.
尽管有多次失败和遭遇损失，但持续追求成功。
在美国，一切都趋向于增长和进步。事情就是这样。但如果你停止尝试，那么你的个人进步和成长就停止了。
在美国或作为一个美国人，永远不要对自己说：“我永远都不可能做到_在空白处填上任何东西：拥有一个家，年收入达到六七位数，有孩子，找到生活伴侣，等等。如果你真的想要它，你可以在美国得到它，只要你永不放弃。
但是放弃是很容易的，想想那些成功的人是因为他们的背景或种族，因此对某些人可能的事情对你来说是不可能的。在许多国家，这很可能是真的，但在美国却不是这样。

Danielle Fraser, Electronics Engineer (1972-present)
There is no single definition. It is dramatically different person to person.
The US is far to big and diverse to answer this without writing a 10,000 word essay.
It must be diverse in your country? Same in the USA.
For some it is as simple of living all your life without involuntary hunger.
For others it is a big house and flashy cars.
For me it is that while I have sometimes not had enough money for all I want, I have always had enough for my needs and for my family. Now at age 66 I am successful because I have no debts and I receive more money, between pensions and investments, every month than I spend.
没有单一的定义。人与人之间的情况截然不同。
如果不写一篇一万字的文章来回答这个问题的话，那就是美国太大，太多样化了。
在你们国家，它一定是多样化的。美国也一样。
对一些人来说，生活得很简单，若非自愿，不会陷入饥饿状况。
对其他人来说，是获得一座大房子和华丽的汽车。
对我来说，虽然有时我没有足够的钱来满足所有我想要的，但我总是有足够的钱来满足我的需要和我的家人。现在我66岁了，我成功了，因为我没有债务，我每个月收到的养老金和投资都比我花的多。

If foreigners can still get here and work, then I suggest that a person get at least two jobs to total at least 60 hours each week. Develop a budget so that you are saving the maximum possible. At some point, attend college. I suggest going for something in the medical field. Laboratory Science, all disciplines, is wide open in terms of job opportunities. They are literally begging for people to enter the profession. Once you are working in a profession, continue living on a budget so that you continue to maximize your savings. Do not purchase new cars. Help your children go to college. Create a new generation of successful families. Also, try to have some fun too. It’s a great country.
如果外国人仍然可以来这里工作，那么我建议一个人至少做两份工作，每周至少工作60小时。制定预算，以便尽可能节省开支。在某个时候，上大学。我建议在医学领域做点什么。实验室科学的所有学科，在就业机会方面都是开放的。他们实际上是在乞求人们进入这个行业。一旦你从事某一职业，就要继续按预算生活，这样你才能继续最大限度地节省开支。不要购买新车。帮助你的孩子上大学。给新一代创造成功家庭。另外，也要试着找点乐子。这是一个伟大的国家。

And the other answers you're received don't respond to the reality that America is a blxing HUGE country where the definition of success can be very different from place to place. In the large urban cities, to a great extent, money and the number of toys you have is the answer. But get outside of it, into more rural areas and say the deep south, and faith, family longevity, skills at surviving on one's own may be the definition of success. Go to certain artsy areas like San Francisco, and being able to survive creatively and keep going while plying one's art is the definition of success.
你收到的其他答案并没有回应这样一个现实：美国是一个瞬息万变的大国，各地对成功的定义可能大相径庭。在大城市，在很大程度上，钱和玩具的数量是答案。但是，走出去，去到更多的农村地区，说到南方腹地，信仰、家庭寿命、独自生存的技能可能是成功的定义。去旧金山这样的艺术区，成功的定义是能够创造性地生存下去，并在实践自己的艺术时继续前进。

Nandan Choksi, Tried different careers in a different life.
I'm not sure what you mean by "success." It means different things to different persons.
The US gives you the opportunity to re-make yourself. The educational system is not as rigid as it is in India. Here, in the US, you can get a BA in English, followed by MS in Computer Science and Ph.D. in Business. You cannot do that kind of thing in India. So, the probability that you will find something that you enjoy, is good, all through your life.
You aren't stuck in one field your whole life just because you got a degree in it when you were in your twenties. You are able to grow and develop, constantly. To me, that's success.
我不知道你说的“成功”是什么意思，它对不同的人意味着不同的事情。
美国给了你重塑自我的机会。教育系统不像印度那样死板。在美国，你可以获得英语学士学位，然后是计算机科学硕士学位和商业博士学位。在印度你无法获得这些。因此，在你的一生中，你很有可能找到你喜欢的东西。
你不会因为20多岁时获得了某个领域的学位而一辈子都陷在某个领域。你能够不断成长和发展，对我来说，这就是成功。

Look for opportunities that are being overlooked by others and figure out how you can take advantage of such opportunities in a profitable manner. Sometimes the jobs that are shunned are the best opportunities for growth and profit potential.
寻找那些被别人忽视的机会，并想办法利用这些机会赚钱。有时候，被回避的工作恰恰是成长和有盈利潜力的最佳机会。

America is the land of the free and we get to define success ourselves, individually. You can be rich or poor, either doing what you like or not, and call yourself a success or a failure. It's all up to each of us, you and me.
I am a success because I choose to be. Each of the people running for president, for example, would call themselves a success, whatever successes and failures they might have had, because they choose to believe so.
美国是一个自由的国度，我们可以自己定义成功。你可以是富有的，也可以是贫穷的，不管你喜欢不喜欢做什么，你都可以称自己是成功的，也可以称自己是失败的。这一切都取决于我们每个人—你和我。
我之所以成功，是因为我选择认定自己是成功的。例如，每一位竞选总统的人都会称自己为成功者，无论他们曾经有过什么成功和失败，因为他们选择这样认为。

Success is defined in many different and varied ways by people's perspective.
If one desire and then achieves it's success.
人们对成功的定义有很多不同的方式。
如果一个人的愿望实现了，那就是成功。

Steve Jobs said
"You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
Making a difference in you about the success and the greed is primarily important to understand.
史蒂夫·乔布斯说:
“你不可能在向前看的时候把这些点串连起来;你只能在回顾时将它们联系起来。所以你必须相信，这些点点滴滴会在你的未来以某种方式连接起来。你必须相信某些东西——你的直觉、命运、生命、因果报应，等等。这种方式从来没有让我失望，它让我的生活变得完全不同。”
要让你的成功和贪婪有所不同，这是最重要的。
