Adversity leads to Great Enrichment: Minh Pham as equipped, “All adversity leads to great things in life.” This soft-spoken self-made millionaire, who made his fortune as a real estate investor, has personally experienced more than his fair share of adversity. Arriving motherless, from Vietnam as a political refugee at the tender age of only two, Minh fled Saigon to seek a better life when he escaped the war worn country. He was rushed onto a small wooden fishing boat with his father and his two brothers. This badly overcrowded local-family fishing vessel which usually occupies 35 to 40 people was dangerously overcrowded with 420 refugees. The boat headed out for the open seas taking enough provisions to last at most, 3 to 4 days. It was soon attacked by ruthless pirates who set the boat adrift, for what became a harrowing and treacherous 3 week experience. During this tragic journey into the open seas, other coastal marauders boarded their boat seven separate times. On one occasion, Minh was nearly thrown overboard simply due to his sickly condition. The boat was eventually rescued by the Malaysian Coast Guard.

Those who survived the nightmarish ordeal were transported to an American refugee camp in the South Pacific. For 14 very long months, Minh and his family lived in savage conditions before finally immigrating to the United States in 1980. The hardships endured within the refugee camp were soon replaced by the reality of starting over in a new country, with a new culture, no money, while not being able to speak a word of English. Minh would spend the next 10 years of his life growing up in poverty amongst the immigrant enclaves of the Washington, DC metropolitan area. As a poor, uneducated child, unfamiliar with all aspects of American life and culture, Minh overcame phenomenal personal and cultural obstacles. His determination, relentless persistence, and driven will power led him to succeed. Despite the adversity, he worked hard, excelled academically in high school, and eventually put himself through college at the University of Maryland.

After college graduation, Minh set a personal goal to become financial free and secure by the time he was thirty years of age and built a business selling insurance and securities. Despite impressive initial success, his business would later struggle and then collapse after the terrorist attack of the 9-11 tragedy and its negative financial aftermath. Emotionally and financially distraught, Minh turned to motivational books and tapes to uplift his spirits and his personal outlook on living life to the fullest. That was when he encountered what he calls one of the “greatest gifts” in his life, a book written by Deal Donald Walsh entitled: Conversations with God, which shortly thereafter lead Minh to a series of teachings by Eckhart Tolle, namely The Power of Now and A New Earth.
