Always give your best and try to figure out how to do an even better j — Ben Carson

"Knowledge make us valuable. When we have knowledge that other people do not readily have, somebody need us. It does not matter what we look like, or where we came from, if we have something that others have a need for."

"To THINK BIG and to use our talents doesnt mean we wont have difficulties along the way. We will—we all do. How we view those problems determines how we end up. If we choose to see the obstacles in our path as barriers, we stop trying. “We cant win,” we moan. “They wont let us win.”However, if we choose to see the obstacles as hurdles, we can leap over them. Successful people dont have fewer problems. They have determined that nothing will stop them from going forward.Whatever direction we choose, if we can realize that every hurdle we jump strengthens and prepares us for the next one, were already on the way to success."

"I need the Lords guidance on what to do... I asked God for wisdom."

"You pray for yourselves and just ask God to guide you and to give you strength."

"Odds that you will die at some point in your life: 1 in 1. Thus, you might say the greatest, most significant, and universal risk factor in death is being born. This implies that it really isnt very helpful to approach the subject of risk by focusing on how we might die; rather, its far wise to consider how we should live and what risk we will live with."

"The more we think about risk, the more risk seem to be."
