"You have to CHOOSE to be extraordinary."
Dr. Nido R. Qubein came to the United States as a teenager with little knowledge of English, no network and $50 in his pocket. His life has been an amazing success story since.
He has been the recipient of dozens of honors including the Horatio Alger Award for Distinguished Americans (other recipients include Oprah, Denzel Washington, Condoleezza Rice).
Dr. Qubein is in high demand to speak to business and professional groups around the world, and that is how I first met him almost 18 years ago (!!) as he was touring with professional development gurus Brian Tracy and the late Zig Ziglar .
I was very lucky to have carved out this time to visit Dr. Qubein in his Presidential offices at High Point University in North Carolina, and to be able to listen to just a bit of the wisdom that he espouses on a life well-lived.
Listen as Dr. Qubein shares a lifetime of wisdom on how to live an extraordinary life - a life, he says, that is within reach for everyone, but not always reached for by everyone.
