Rating: Summary: The blue print to success Review: This book was particularly interesting Dr. Carson has given us the road map to success and we should put our youth as well as ourselves on this path of achieving greatness. I admire Dr. Carson who did not let peer pressure or neighborhood gossip distract him off the path of success. When I read this book there were some things that I am going utilize such as talent, being nice, ethics, books and most importantly god on my path of success in achieving my career goals. For about a year now I have shut off my cable and every night I read after getting home from work which has made a remarkable improvement in my life. Books have become my best friend in shaping my mind and to increase my cognitive being in ways that are beyond my imagination. Whenever there is a subject that I have no knowledge of my local library has been my greatest source of information. Knowledge is power and a tool for success.
Rating: Summary: ...Now, I'm more than a little unimpressed Review: This is more than just another self-help book. It gives very concrete steps available to all of us for developing our potential, regardless of our station in life. The author stresses the immense value of reading. A must for all, but especially for educators and mentors.
Rating: Summary: Inspirational read! Review: What a great book to read. I had received this book as a gift and since then I have given the book to my two sons. Everyone enjoyed the true life account of a Mother's love and devotion to her children and the inspirational story of a young man's dramatic life story. This book and "Gifted Hands" should be a 'must' read for all students entering 8th or 9th grade. An uplifting book that children and adults can relate to. I loved it.
