Anyone who would pick up after you because i suppose just like the previous leader , you will pass it on to someone else . And that person I'm sure will feel grateful to walk in your footsteps! Amazing story coming from one immigrant to another ❤
How funny is this that I have been a healer to many many men ,had an impact and people think I'm not aware of my power lol , it's simply called HUMULITY my friends. When I came to America with my 3children , left my then husband whom I thought I had already divorced 🤣 funny story for a different day 🤣 ; I had nothing just like Nido Qubein, I got a job at Target getting paid at $11 per hour and did the work that 2-3people would do in a week's worth ,took my children to school and did the chores cooking etc...But then I also realized in the midst of Covid 19 , I had to be my own lawyer if I wanted to have custody of my children and one day I walked into Goodwill And grabbed one of your books just because it was written high point university and my sister attended so I thought to myself, even if it's a tiny book , it has to be full of insights and educationionL and the Koi Fish story is what inspired me . The next day we went out to get some fish , 4 of them and kid you not , the one I chose was a Koi fish !! IWhen I bought it, it's purpose was just to be a pet companion to the kids because we had no family around. The next day , all 3 fish of each child died and I thought " omg I killed them " 🤣🤣🤣I didn't balance the water right ..So obviously I expected mine to do if the 3 other died so every morning I will come check and feed him making sure he wasn't going to abondon me lol. Every night after I put the kids to sleep, I would get on my computer to do research on how to beat a narcissist in court , read stories after stories until 1-2am then iron the kids clothes , by finishing up in the kitchen to clean up the less we left behind then I will burst out crying 😂 Immediately will pick my vacuum and think to myself " God , I can't do this anymore" crying still and vacuum until I get next to fish tank then I will see him wiggling in the water . Then I will wipe my tears and tell myself " Nafissa if this fish is still alive , you need to put your big girls panties on and be strong like him " I will stop crying and finish vaccum to end up in bed at 3-4am. Every day for 7 months ,I will have the same routine , discouraged on whether or not I could be my own lawyer in court , out the kids to bed , vaccum and start crying until I get to him until the day before I was supposed to show up to court , I arranged my paperwork in a folder ,ironed the kids clothes because I was taking them to court with me , then to finally come by and wish goodnight to my Koi fish but as I got close , he wasn't wiggling and I tapped on the tank , I watched his little self going down and I realized he died . For 7months , each time I changed his water his skin was shedding but I was gaining strength and the day he died , I thought he died thinking " I held it this long until you got strong enough to handle this big day on your own , now I know you are strong enough and thus I can die in peace knowing you will get your wish granted and court will go well ". The next day is January 4th 2023, and even my parking lot fee was $4 , do you see how God creates and thinks of every detail !!! Nothing is a coincidence in Life Mr Qubein and your story would be the Catalyst of Change in my life . I struggled like that koi fish in big waters but it was only to build me Stronger and I will forever be grateful that God lead me to that book in Goodwill. After that I bought 2-3 of them that I could find at Goodwill, You are an extraordinary leader ❤Anyone that attends your school should feel honored and blessed because HPU is Excellence ❤
Our son is an Alum of HPU. I have watched a number of “Nido” videos. I have seen him speak AND have had opportunities to chat with him. But this video helped me to understand more than all those previous experiences. What helped make this video great was the old videos and photos to bring us back in time and the music. Well done!!
