Basics, Basics, Basics


Life is all about the basics and this story below related by Dr Benjamin Carson shows that by learning the basics as soon as or as early as you can will make a big a difference in your life. Even if you didn’t learn the basics as early as Dr Carson did you still can benefit from learning and implementing the basics in your life. Why wait longer? Get started now.

And most importantly help your children learn and implement the basics.

‘One of the steps Carson’s mother took was regularly taking her children to the library, having recognized that people who read a lot “had the ability to change the direction of their lives,” Carson said.

In Carson’s estimation, the importance of knowledge and education cannot be underestimated both in terms of preserving our liberties, and as a factor in shaping the course of one’s life.

The average person lives to be about 80 years old, he said, and they can either spend the first 20-25 years of it preparing, or choosing not to.

“If you prepare yourself, you have sixty years to reap the benefits.  If you fail to prepare yourself, you have sixty years to suffer the consequences,” he said.  “You get to make that choice. Each person gets to make that choice, how they want to program that incredible computer, the brain that God gave us.”’
