Success is a Journey, Hard Work Pays
By: Dr. Ahmed Sabie
About the Book
Ahmed Sabie’s wife Vicki prompted him to write this book so their children would have a better perspective of their Iraqi heritage. They needed to know the details of his background and early childhood, and of the experience he had growing up disadvantaged, yet struggling to succeed, despite all obstacles. Beginning as a foreign student, and becoming an American citizen, this is his success story: “Therefore, this is the theme of my book: How hard work and persistence can be rewarding. There was no option BUT to succeed.”
