World Greatness Day – August 15, 2023

World Greatness Day is celebrated yearly on August 15. Professor Patrick Businge established this festival to honor all things great in life. This day draws our attention to the individuals who have had a significant impact on our lives. Whether it’s a parent, a friend, or a cherished pet, this is our moment to honor and thank those people. Above all, it’s a day to think about your own brilliance. Businge believes that everyone is capable of greatness and that it is critical to build confidence and self-esteem to share that greatness with the rest of the world.

History of World Greatness Day

World Greatness Day is celebrated annually on August 15. This documents the day this holiday was registered in the National Day Archives. Dr. Patrick Businge, the author of “Greatness Code,” started this holiday as a way to express your gratitude to the great people in your life. It’s a day to celebrate people, businesses, places, pets, and anything else great in your life. This day also aims to help people foster or discover the greatness within themselves. Dr. Businge is a professor who taught over 50,000 people throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, and North America. He has acquired ten postgraduate qualifications from over seven universities and is consistently improving himself.

Dr. Patrick Businge founded Greatness University to help enact his beliefs. This university is one of its kind. Its core belief is that there is greatness in everyone and that this greatness can leave footprints. This institution aims to discover and develop the greatness in people and help them translate that greatness into success. They do this through a process they call ‘greatnisation’ in which they help people discover their greatness and officially declare them great over three stages — identification, research, and greatnisation.

The names of these great people are documented in an annual publication called the “World Book of Greatness.” The university has many publications dedicated to teaching people about greatness and helping them discover it, such as the “Greatness Code,” “Beatitudes of Greatness,” and “Les Brown Changed Our Lives.” The institution offers a ‘greatness constantly’ with Dr. Buisnage and many other sessions to help develop your greatness.
