Reynolds established the Academy of Achievement to bring aspiring young people together with real-life heroes&nbsp;&mdash; the kind of achievers he met every week on assignment. He discovered that visionaries and pioneers, who often strike us as larger-than-life, are real people who endured setbacks and persevered through everyday challenges, like anyone else. The difference is in how they kept their eyes open to new opportunities, and in how they went about achieving&nbsp;their dreams.

Such heights, young people often believe, could only have been scaled by someone of unparalleled genius, or persons born to privilege, or those favored by sheer luck. However, the lives and words of these heroes reveal a different story. Few were born rich. They were no more lucky or unlucky than their contemporaries. They were individuals like us, beset by the same challenges that human beings have faced throughout the ages. Their greatness lies not in accidents of birth or good fortune, but in how they met and overcame the extraordinary challenges they faced in their own lives.</p> <table border="0" align="left"> <tbody> <tr> <td><a name="ovr0-010a.gif"></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <figure id="attachment_41294" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-41294" style="width: 2280px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><noscript><img class="size-full wp-image-41294 " src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210905051716im_/https://www.achievement.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/wp-lighten-LondonSummit_1191.jpg"></noscript><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-41294 lazyload" alt="" width="2280" height="1520" data-sizes="(max-width: 2280px) 100vw, 2280px" data-srcset="/web/20210905051716im_/https://achievement.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/wp-lighten-LondonSummit_1191.jpg 2280w, /web/20210905051716im_/https://achievement.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/wp-lighten-LondonSummit_1191-380x253.jpg 380w, /web/20210905051716im_/https://achievement.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/wp-lighten-LondonSummit_1191-760x507.jpg 760w" data-src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210905051716/https://www.achievement.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/wp-lighten-LondonSummit_1191.jpg"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-41294" class="wp-caption-text">Neil M.

In their own words, these famous achievers tell of their experiences, struggles, dreams and personal paths to success, and engage in a unique, lively and innovative dialogue with the young people before whom each show was taped.
