Since its inception in 1998, "American Talent: The Greatness That Made It So Great" has served as a tribute to the nation's enduring legacy. It provides a comprehensive narrative of America's journey from its beginnings, illustrating the greatness that built America.
This ongoing initiative highlights the breadth and depth of American contributions to its citizens and to the world, capturing the essence of American excellence in science, technology, arts, and literature.
By continuously updating this collection with new and inspiring American talents and achievements, the project reflects the ongoing story of American excellence and its profound impact on the world.
The project aims to memorialize and honor the individuals and innovations that have defined the nation's greatness. By exploring the roots of American greatness and delving into the foundations that have built and defined the country, we celebrate the legacy that has made America great.
This collection presents the original greatness of America, showcasing the achievements that have shaped the country from its inception.
Our mission extends beyond honoring the past; we seek to educate and inspire others. By showcasing how an open-minded, talent-focused, and motivation-driven society can thrive, we aim to teach other societies around the world how they too can achieve greatness by paving the way for their people to become the best version of themselves.
By giving ordinary people the opportunity to become extraordinary, we provide the motivation, the credit, and the tolerance to dare to try, to fail, to stand up, and then, as Mark Zuckerberg used to say, to "move fast and break things." And to progress "Gradatim Ferociter," as the Latin motto used by Jeff Bezos means "step by step, ferociously."
Through this project, we hope to foster an environment that celebrates and nurtures talent, encouraging a global appreciation of innovation, creativity, and excellence.
If so many talents from so many nationalities, backgrounds, and cultures can do it, so can you. Wherever you are, whatever you have, and regardless of the obstacles, you can achieve greatness.
Yes, you can!
