The Two Mountains as Humans we must Climb | Asim Hafeez | TEDxParkland

In this deeply reflective TEDx talk, Asim Hafeez explores a powerful metaphor: the two mountains we all face in life. The first is the mountain of personal ambition — the goals, careers, and dreams we pursue from a young age. But what happens after we reach that peak? Through personal stories and profound insights, Asim challenges us to look beyond achievement and ask: Is there a second, higher mountain — one driven by purpose rather than success?This talk is a call to reexamine what we’re really striving for and to consider that true fulfillment might come not from reaching the top, but from choosing the right mountain to climb. Asim Hafeez is a visionary entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist. He is the owner and operator of Empower Energy Solutions, a rapidly growing solar EPC company generating over $100 million in annual revenue and operating in 25 states across the U.S. Through his "Empower the World" initiative, Asim has funded over 4,000 eyesight restoration surgeries, reflecting his belief that true success includes transforming lives beyond the boardroom.An immigrant born in Pakistan who arrived in the U.S. without knowing English, Asim’s journey is a testament to resilience and relentless growth. With over 18 years in commission-only sales, he has built a diversified investment portfolio that includes ownership of over 200 rental doors and equity in more than 80 companies as a general or limited partner. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
