BEN CARSONI started reading about people of great accomplishment… and it dawned on me suddenly that the person who has the most to do with what happens in your life is you.
BEN CARSONWell, I say that the most important job you can possibly have is raising a child, and it needs to be treated that way. You have to show them, rather than just talk to them.
BEN CARSONWhat we need to do in this PC world is forget about unanimity of speech and unanimity of thought and we need to concentrate on being respectful of those people with whom we disagree.
