A BOOK THAT INSPIRES YOU: THINK BIG BY BEN CARSON

As I had mentioned in a previous publication of mine, Inspiration can literally be tapped from anywhere and this time, the inspiration comes from books.

Books have relatively been a great source for knowledge and a way to get inspiring ideas and thoughts that can make a positive impact in our lives. The mind, thoughts, and positive energy of the author is easily passed through writing to the reader.

Enough on my words about books. Today's discussion is about a book that inspires me. I must say, this is quite a difficult article for me as reading books is what I have lacked but nevertheless, I will share one that I read some time ago.

The book which I got inspired by is called THINK BIG which was authored by Ben Carson. It talks about the life of Ben during his childhood. Ben was single handedly raised by his mother because the father had left the marriage relationship. It was not easy for the mother as she was an illiterate.

Ben was abused and looked down by his classmates. Moreover, also had anger Issues. At the beginning, he was not doing well in school but all things changed when the mother decides to change the schedules of her sons to curb them from watching Tvs and making them write two books review every week. I was inspired on how things changed for Ben from the most dull student to the best of the class.
