Let me ask you a question. Have you ever asked a question that changed everything for you? Like literally everything I have? And that's why I believe in the power of asking. See, I think questions are locked doors, sparks idea and deepening relationships. The challenge is to grow and to see the world in new ways that we never even imagined before. So one advice today is do not be afraid to ask. Get up and go walk to your boss or walk to your friend and ask the question that you want. You've been meaning to ask them for a long time. Maybe you wanted that promotion, that race, maybe you wanted that corner office, you wanted to ask for it. What do you lose at the end of the day? It's either a yes or a no. And either way, the walls keep moving. Time doesn't stop. See, I'm going to give you an example of one time that a question just asking something changed my whole life. So this is early 2000. I was just finishing my studies in in Algeria where I was on a on an abroad study program and at the time I was corresponding with a friend from from New York. That I met in each year prior to going to Algeria. All I had to do was ask him. I said, can you help me come to America to pursue my education? To which he responded, I cannot do that, but I sure can ask my dad if he can help you. Sure enough, he asked his dad and to which his dad responded, yes, with pleasure. I would do that. And this is how I ended in New York. And that's what happened. See, that one question changed my life my whole life. So that's explaining how I ended up in New York. I'm going to school for county and pursuing my dream, my now American dream. So ladies and gentlemen, my friend, get up and go ask that question. That's it, just ask. So if you get anything out of this video, he says, just ask.
