From dishwashing to hotel management. Metaphysicist and table tennis player. These are ingredients for the life of an individual who can succeed despite the odds and show the rest of us how to follow his example. Among the many books he has authored are: ‘Ten Keys to Ultimate Success’, ‘Way to Success and Riches’, ‘The Path of Excellence’, ‘Life Without Tension’, ‘Change Your Life in 30 Years’, ‘Control Your Life’, and ‘Negative Thinking and Positive Thinking’ — his works take pride of place in any bookshop self-help section.
Ibrahim Mohamed el-Sayyed el-Feqi was born on August 5, 1950 in Alexandria.
He had a doctorate in metaphysics from the Metaphysics University of Los Angeles and held countless workshops and seminars on this subject.
He was a qualified trainer in hypnotherapy and homeopathic healing and head of the Canadian Training Centre of Power Human Energy.
In recent years, he made frequent appearances on Egyptian television.
He was a table tennis player and champion of Egyptian Table Tennis League for many years. He represented Egypt in the World Table Tennis Championships in Munich 1969.
In 1975, he became department manager at the Helnan Palestine Hotel in Alexandria at 25. (Perhaps it could be said that table tennis opens rotating doors.)
He emigrated to Canada to study management but, in the meantime, he washed dishes and was a bouncer for a restaurant (There must have been tough, aggressive patrons in those less enlightened times of flared trousers and Sony Walkmans.) If you wonder about the poor chap who has to ferry chairs and tables from ballroom to ballroom in five-star hotels, he might well hold a PhD and be on his way up the metaphysics and self-help ladders.
Looking back on his experiences when he arrived in Canada, he recalled that he owned nothing and did menial jobs, despite his success in hotels before he emigrated.
Yet worked his way up until he became the manager of one of Canada’s largest hotels.
He obtained internationally recognised qualifications and a doctorate in the science of human development.
He says on his website that he is the founder of two new sciences registered in his name: human energy and dynamic neural adaptation.
He has authored ten books, which are listed in the Library and the National Archives of Canada.
Published during the Nineties, his books topics deal with sales techniques, the art of successful management and self-development.
He died on February 10, 2012. He was 62.
