Success the Hard Way: Eight is Not Enough

Inspired by the advice and struggles of his immigrant father, Victor Sayegh vowed at an early age to become master of his own destiny. Throughout his youth and young adulthood, he pursued this goal with a fierce determination and relentless drive, despite the obstacles presented by the Great Depression and World War II. As he recalls the chapters of his lifetime, from a youth in Brooklyn, N.Y. to a highly successful business owner, Sayegh attributes his success to his parents, who..."gave me the confidence needed to succeed during hard times" and his wife, Julia, whose faith and patience served as strength and support for her husband and their eight children. The message of his story is an uplifting one of hope in the face adversity, of believing in the possibilities, and of reaping the rewards of dedication, purpose and hard work.
