Laugh and Live Douglas Fairbanks wrote Laugh and Live in 1917, a time when the nations of the world were violently forced to acknowledge that new technologies were challenging centuries old cultural identities and power structures. A time where "success" seemed defined only by one's wealth attained through generational inheritance, familial connections, and unrestrained greed. Fairbanks challenged this by highlighting that truly meaningful success is defined by the individual and achieved through grit. Linking mind and body to effort his philosophy is democratic, muscular, and optimistic: success is available to anyone willing to do the hard work of constant self-improvement, physical discipline, moral integrity, and generous action. In a culture that often sells shortcuts, Fairbanks's timeless insistence on character, courage, and laughter as daily practice is not just refreshing-it is essential. What does it take to be a Great American? Being a Great American isn't about your connections, political alignment, wealth, or even achievements; it's about personal character. It requires integrity, compassion, courage, respect, curiosity, and civic responsibility. Great Americans understand that building a more perfect union starts with building a solid foundation within ourselves. The Making a Great American Series is a collection of timeless, thought-provoking, and straightforward personal guidebooks written by Great Americans on how to develop the traits of a Great American.
