This is a great site for anyone looking for good news and inspiration. The Academy of Achievement records the accomplishments of extraordinary leaders and visionaries who have helped shape our world. They include remarkable people from the arts, public service, sports, business, science and exploration, all guided by the principles of passion, vision, preparation, courage, perseverance and integrity.

The gallery features audio and video clips as well as written interviews with the subjects, biographies of their lives and profiles of their accomplishments.

The American Academy of Achievement was founded in 1961 by Sports Illustrated and LIFE magazine photographer Brian Reynolds to bring together accomplished people from diverse fields in order to network and inspire the next generation of young leaders.
