What is important – what I consider success – is that we make a contribution to our world. - Ben Carson

Abraham Lincoln once said, "All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my mother." I'm not sure I want to say it quite like that, but my mother, Sonya Carson, was the earliest, strongest, and most impacting force in my life. It would be impossible to tell about my accomplishments without starting with my mother's influence.

It is important to call on God to intervene in our life, especially when we reach the point where we ourselves have become helpless.

I always pray before any of the operations.
