Henry Agassi

Born out of wedlock in a small village in African, with a great deal of poverty and hopelessness. According to Henry “we had no electricity, no indoor plumbing, water was a problem as well. Six people share one bedroom and one towel. Having 2 meals a day was a treat. But because of my grandfather help and the wisdom he instilled in me gave me hope. He taught me that to be in a situation or the situation that you are in does not have to be in you, and rather than focus on my environment he taught me to focus on my dream"

The application of this wisdom has not only get Henry out of that little village where he was born and raised but has gotten him the opportunity to travel around the world to do for others what his grandfather did for him, teach others, especially young people who are now victims of suicide, mental health and bullying how to develop a strong sense of self that will give their lives a sense of purpose and when they have a sense of purpose that will give them a sense of direction so that they don't feel hopeless and purposeless to want to commit suicide that is soaring among young people today. According to studies suicide is the second leading cause of death after car accident. And some of the causes of this are the feeling of hopelessness, purposelessness and low self-esteem.

"So, my goal and objective are to help people, especially young people not to buy into the distractions of life by giving them a strong sense of self and to help them focus in a way that will not only make them realized what they should be now but what they can be in the future."

It was Goethe who said, “Look at a man the way that he is, and he only becomes worse, but look at him as if he were what he could be, then he’ll become what he should be”

And to help them think positively in a way that will prevent them from abusing themselves through self-harming, drugs, alcohol and negative thinking."

In other words, Henry Help people live life from in the inside out rather than from the outside out.
