Dreams, Failure and Absolute Determination
Heart full of hope and head full of ambition, Ahmed Madey left his homeland in the Horn of Africa at just eighteen to travel to the United States. The many legal hurdles he encountered at this young, harrowing stage of his life inspired him to eventually become a lawyer, and, after growing and settling into his new home country, after becoming educated and finishing law school, he set off to take the bar exam and fulfill his dreams.... only to fail the first attempt. And the next. And the next. And...
Through dogged persistence, and after nearly passing a couple times, it would take multiple attempts and several years to finally triumph. But this singular accomplishment forms only one thread of this inspiring and bitingly honest story. Through it all, Madey would learn to survive, meet his future wife, and wrestle with universal questions such as: What exactly is success? How much of one's view of success is internal, and how much is imposed by others? Why should we so concern ourselves with letting others' expectations define or derail our goals in life?
A unique mixture of memoir and motivational literature, Aspiring to Succeed illustrates all the ways we might keep ourselves from achieving our dreams, and how, through an evolving process of self-reflection and self-definition, we can get out of our own way.
