When you read, your mind must work by taking in letters and connecting them to form words. ~Ben CarsonB = BOOKSI emphasize that active learning from reading is better than passive learning such as listening to lectures or watching television. If you are knowledgeable, particularly more knowledgeable than anybody else in a field, you become invaluable and write your own ticket. ~Ben Carson K = KNOWLEDGEKnowledge is the key to independent living, the key to all your dreams, hopes, and aspirations. Being kind, friendly, and helpful takes less energy and relieves much of the pressure. It takes much less energy to be nice than it does to be mean. If you’re nice to people, they’ll be nice to you. ~Ben CarsonN = NICEBe nice to people – all people. Read good books like the Bible because they open up new worlds of understanding. Benefit from their mistakes instead of repeating them. ~Ben CarsonI = INSIGHTListen and learn from people who have already been where you want to go. Speaking the truth each time makes life amazingly simple. If you’re honest, you don’t have to remember what you said the last time. ~Ben CarsonH also = HONESTYWhen you do anything dishonest, you must do something else dishonest to cover up, and your life becomes hopelessly complex. ~Ben CarsonH = HOPEDon’t go around with a long face, expecting something bad to happen. The rest of us have to learn how And we can. God gives some people the ability to manage time. Learn not to waste time, because time is money and time is effort. When you are always on time, people can depend on you. ~Ben CarsonT also = TIMELearn the importance of time. Remembering T for talent puts you far ahead of the game if you take advantage of what God gives you. Develop those talents and use them in the career you choose. ~Ben CarsonTHINK BIGT=TALENTLearn to recognize and accept your God-given talents (and we all have them). Without adopting such a self-centered value system, we can demand the best of ourselves while we are extending our hands to help others.
The culture in which we live stresses looking out for number one. ~Ben CarsonAs I think of Black youth, I also want to say I believe that many of our pressing racial problems will be taken care of when we who are among the minorities will stand on our own feet and refuse to look to anybody else to save us from our situations. ~Ben CarsonThere isn’t anybody in the world who isn’t worth something. If you work hard and do your best, you’ll be recognized and move onward. The length of time on the job doesn’t matter, for it’s true even with a summer job. ~Ben CarsonThe kind of job doesn’t matter. The principle goes like this: It’s not what you know but the kind of job you do that makes the difference. Just knowing a lot of information, while helpful, wasn’t enough either. Influence could get me inside the door, but my productivity and the quality of my work were the real tests. ~Sonya CarsonThat job taught me an important lesson about employment in the world beyond high school. Anybody can dress up on the outside and be dead inside. You can do it!” Or one of her favorites: “You just ask the Lord, and He’ll help you.” ~Ben CarsonWhat’s inside counts the most. I didn’t always like hearing her say, “You weren’t born to be a failure, Bennie (Ben Carson-Sonya’s son). ~Sonya CarsonWhen she (Sonya Carson) believed in something she held on and wouldn’t quit. If you don’t succeed, you only have yourself to blame. Ultimately, it’s you who decides whether you will be a success or not, by doing what is legally necessary to get you where you want to go, You are the captain of your own ship. The person who has the most to do with what happens to you is you! You make the choices you decide whether you’re going to give up or ante up when the going gets tough. ~Mayme White MillerRemember this as you go through life.
I trust you will enjoy the quotes below:“You’ve The Captain of Your Ship”If things go bad for you-And make you a bit ashamed,Often you will find out thatYou have yourself to blame …Swiftly we ran to mischiefAnd then the bad luck came.Why do we fault others?We have ourselves to blame …Whatever happens to us,Here are the words to say,“Had it not been for so-and-soThings wouldn’t have gone that way.”And if you are short of friends,I’ll tell you what to do-Make an examination,You’ll find the fault’s in you …You’re the captain of your ship,So agree with the same-If you traveled downward,You have yourself to blame. He worked very hard to become a world renowned neurosurgeon. Raised by a single Mom, he grows up without much of material things. In his book "Gifted Hands" he shares his life story and what a story it is. This is the type of person we need to lead America back to our foundation. I hope that Ben Carson will run for President.
