🇬🇧 Gifted hands: the Ben Carson Story

Another biography I watched during the weekend was “Gifted Hands: the Ben Carson Story”. I really appreciate biographies. This one was special because it shows something I treasure. Part of the transformation in Ben’s life was performed through the interest in art and culture. Books and museums were there to guide him to a completely different world. Like in the famous movie “To sir, with love”, where a teacher (Sidnei Poitier) guides a class of poor students to a new world including a visit to a museum. Ben’s mother also emphasise the importance to wear clothing with quality, another thing I value. Unfortunately, many brands nowadays are going in another direction, decreasing quality.

I won’t say racism doesn’t exist, but I’m sure the life of any person is much better if the individual chooses to enlarge ones universe through art, culture, travels and investing on quality.

Ben Carson is an example that reality can change.

Although I don’t like images of surgeries, this movie is tolerable regarding this kind of scene. Watch and enjoy the inspiration, then share your thoughts with me.
