Bill Marriott tells Adam Bryant about an encounter with President Eisenhower at his father's family farm in 1954 when he still a young man. Eisenhower asked Bill the question about going outdoors on a cold wintry day with his dad and the Secretary of Agriculture- "what do you think we should do." He realized the value of this in the Navy and at Marriott when he found how uncommon was this question in real life as most have already made up their minds and rarely ask people around them this question.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
