THINK BIG

"Thinking big" means opening our horizons, reaching for new possibilities in our lives, being open to whatever God has in store for us on the road ahead. "The expression is another way of restating one of my mother's favorite sayings, when I was struggling in school, teased by classmates," says Dr. Ben Carson. "'You can do anything they can do,' she would say. 'Only you must try to do it better.'"

THINK BIG, Dr, Carson's formula for personal success, exists within the letters themselves. In his book with the same name, he sets forth his philosophy of living, drawing upon his youth, his experience, and present profession as chief of pediatric neurosurgery at the Johns Hopkins Children's Center.
