"Is there a National Inventors' Day?

On January 12, 1983, President Ronald Reagan dedicated February 11, 1983 (the anniversary of Thomas Edison's birth) to the creative and resourceful individuals who make up the pool of America's inventors. He called it National Inventors' Day "In recognition of the enormous contribution inventors make to the nation and the world." The President went on to write that the "key to our future success [as a nation] will be the dedication and creativity of inventors." President Reagan also "call[ed] upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities." - InventHelp

Throughout America's history we have brought about prosperity through creativity and innovation. New inventions in communications, transportation, science, goods and services have brought wealth to our country.

A country that develops winning products and new technology that the world needs and wants, brings prosperity to that country.

Countries such as USA, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Korea, and China have gained success from innovation.

Do you own a product made in Iran? I don't. Do you own a product made in Russia? Not likely except vodka. These countries and others depend on commodities that rise and fall based on market conditions. They are followers and not creative leaders.

The point is that inventing leads to economic success. This is not a time to sit on your ideas. Keep moving forward. And these innovations can help turn your economy around.

I once read that the only true source of personal security is continuously improving yourself a little every day.

But what holds many people back is fear. And the longer one sits idle by fear of uncertainly, the fear grows. The way to conquer fear is with action. Doing. And to get started we must think in terms of optimism and confidence.

Now is the time to invest in ourselves. And collectivity we can rise above our current situation.
