you're good at doing everyone is good at doing at least one thing very well the first secret of success is to identify what it is that you do well and enjoy doing the second secret of success begins with the letter age for honesty when we act dishonestly we checked our selves most people have an uncanny ability to detect dishonesty and others maybe it's because dishonest people often display an usual body language or settle the odd behavior that others pick up on whatever it is dishonest people get found out they're not trusted they're not like they're avoided Dr Carson stresses the importance of being honest in all things to always tell the truth honesty is the magic key to success in life if we're honest people will be honest in return and if we are honest with ourselves and

inopportune time and if you always tell the truth you don't have to try to remember what you said three months ago you can concentrate on the task at hand and make secret to success begins with the letter I this time the letter I equals in size another word for inside his understanding Dr Carson emphasizes the importance of thinking things through clearly he urges us to listen to people who were successful to learn new and positive things from everywhere and everyone we should learn from the mistakes of others as well as from their achievements you'll find that the majority of successful people will share their experiences good and bad with you you can learn so much by gaining insights through the eyes of others Dr Carson tells us we must observe and reflect on what good people do then commit ourselves to giving our best if we do we'll come out on top insight which comes from listening to people who've already gone where you tryna go you can learn from their triumph you can learn from their mistakes if you don't have to make the same mistake ship here it's me or your aunts and uncles are you teachers or other people can think how much faster and if you can look at the good things they did an innovative those you're going to be on the right track now the lettering which Dr Carson tells us equals nice he tells us that we must avoid prejudice that we must not judge books by their covers he stresses that we must go through our lives treating others with respect and consideration because when we face the world with the positive and friendly disposition it influences everyone we come in contact with in positive ways that's because people like and admire people who are friendly happy and just play nice the fact is that when we are nice to others that are almost always respond to us in the same way to always be prepared to share a smile and shown interest be known as someone who cares about others be sincere be interested be genuine treat everyone as equals do not bound to important people and ignore the less fortunate you'll be amazed at how much the world lacks in Syria cheerful and thoughtful people in surprised at how success comes so much faster and more readily to those who are truly nice to others be nice to people because once they get over their suspicion of why you being nice to be nice to you you get so much more done they can get so much more done your life becomes so much more pleasant and really you know that's what a Christian likes that calls for treating other people the way you want to be treated and not being selfish and thinking about others first and it's actually kind of fun it doesn't sound like fun at the beginning but just give it a try and you'll see it is a wonderful thing the last secret from the word think starts with the letter K it stands for knowledge the human brain contains 14 billion cells if used to its maximum this divinely created human computer inside our heads could contain all the knowledge of humanity from the beginning of the world to the present and still have room left over the fact is we cannot overload the human brain dr. Carson tells us that all knowledge is important he urges Estes seek knowledge because knowledge overcomes the past it changes their own situations it helps us overcome new obstacles and allows us to make better decisions remember knowledge is power and if we make every attempt to increase our knowledge in order to use that knowledge for human good it'll make a real difference in US and in our world to have a big house yes to have a lot of cars yes but I think that robin Leach ablation out of the rich and famous things important course I did are they important though they mean nothing if they all disappeared tomorrow I don't care they get them all right back almost immediately but what's up here which is what solomon the wisest man who ever lived meant when he said gold silver and will be sure nice but we treasure far above us things knowledge wisdom and understanding because with those things you get all the girls who love movies you want more importantly you can understand it on the amount to a hill of beans that the most important thing is developing your intellect so you become valuable to the people around you that's lasting value now we move on to the acrostic from the word big first the later be four books books have been a major factor in Dr Carson's on success from the time as a youngster when his mother Limited is television viewing to only two favorite programs a week and sitting the task of reading two books and writing a report on both every week books were that true turning point in his life books became his way out of the ghetto his escape from poverty his ticket to gaining self-esteem confidence and a brilliant future when dr. Carson speaks of books he echoes the words of William Ellery Channing in the best books great mean talk to us give us the most precious thoughts and pour their soul in two hours god be thanked for books they are the voices of the distant and the day and make us is of the spiritual life of past ages books that True levelers they give to all who will faithfully use them the society the spiritual presence of the best and greatest of our race Dr Carson firmly believes that even in this age of the Internet and powerful search engines books are still the best source of acquiring knowledge reading activates and exercises the mind reading forces the mind to discriminate from the beginning readers has to recognize letters printed on the page made them into words the words into sentences and the sentences into concepts reading pushes us to use their imagination makes us more creative when we commit ourselves to books in increasing our knowledge it seems there are few limits to how far we will go in this world never too late my mother did teach yourself to read get a GED her graduate equivalency diploma went on to college honorary doctorate degree in 1994 she's Dr crisis next the second later I this time from the word big this time Dr Carson tells us that I equals in-depth knowledge we can never learn more now too much we must never stop gaining knowledge but more importantly we must gain deep knowledge it's not enough to have superficial and shallow knowledge we must dig deeply to gain substantial understanding and insights when we search for knowledge we develop an inquiring mind we can gain knowledge through formal education through reading widely on a given subject and through observation we must learn from others we must ask more questions we must never stop questioning we must apply ourselves to continue learning and inquiring knowledge throughout our lives indeed the knowledge allows us to give our best to others and make a better world official as a people who crammed a lot of stuff in before a test sometimes do okay and three weeks later nothing I don't think that's really paying the appropriate respect to are created and intellect he gave it to us so that we can just take a test he gave it to us so that we could become in depth learners and use that knowledge to advance ourselves and to advance Dr Carson the letter G gives us the perfect final word when it comes to achieving success in life 4G equals god you know we live in a politically correct society that has changed to get got out people don't even when I say Merry Christmas my because somebody might be offended just crazy stuff and you know the fact of the matter is you know when you look at a lot of incredibly town that intellectual people like albert Einstein who was a believer in God because when he looked at the university said this could just come about you look at Francis Collins the human genome project was an atheist when he started his graduate work in as he began to understand the complexity of the human genome he said so I just can't be an accident but also looking at the principles of loving your fellow man caring about your neighbor developing your talents to the message you become valuable to others having values and principles that govern your life and if you incorporate those into your life you gonna be high success Dr Carson has committed his life to God he acknowledges gone is the most significant key to his success in life just like Solomon did in Bible times not is what it says here in Proverbs chapter 3 vs five and six trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths throughout his life in Korea goddess help doctor cars and true many crises by acknowledging god as both a powerful and loving force in the world we become more considerate of others we understand that we must treat other human beings the way we want to be treated from this we learned humility humility isn't groveling and telling others how worthless we r humility is knowing who we are and what God is doing and has done in our lives and this basic understanding of who we are in a relationship with God enables us to keep everything in perspective it keeps our feet on the ground it is the solid foundation on which is successful life can be built and unless we are humbled in the sight of God unless we are grateful for any success that comes our way we will not achieve true and lasting success in anything listen to what the Bible says in James check the four and six God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble Dr Carson advocates relationship with God by a simple philosophy do your best and let God do the rest a good friend of mine a man who is very
