Motivational Stories The Ben Carson Story

The story of Dr. Ben Carson is one of the greatest contemporary real life stories that illustrate just how much every individual can carry through with the honest amount of determination and motivation. Ben was a piceous boy raised by a single mother at a time when African Americans did not cotton to half being prevalent privileges since they do today. For the greatest part of his early greenness, Ben believed that he was the dumbest kid in his school. And he had very good reason to do so. At the heel of every assessment and stab, he was always at the bottom of the class. One incident in particular illustrates just how dumb Ben apparently was. One day, his teacher was handing out the results of a assessment that the pupils had taken earlier and piece called out the names of the kids in the class at serendipitous to find out what they had managed to score. When gal called out Ben ' s name, he replied in a timid voice. " None, " he said. His teacher, hearing nine instead of none actually congratulated Ben for having obtained nine percent before another pupil corrected her, to the utter jubilation of the entire class.

The fact that the teacher actually congratulated him for scoring 9 percent in a test, which is indeed a very low score, illustrates clearly just how dumb he was in class. Getting nothing right in a test was however something that Ben was accustomed to at the time. It is hard to imagine how a boy who could barely get anything right in class turned out to be one of the most respected neurosurgeons who ever lived and arguably the most successful.

In his story, a book titled Gifted Hands, Ben outlines how he did it. The true hero in his story is his mother who was always telling Ben and his brother that there was nothing in the world that they couldn ' t achieve if they put enough work into it. While working as a housekeeper for a professor, Ben ' s mother was quick to realize the role that books played in the man ' s success and upon realizing this, she made her two sons borrow books from the library, read them and write her a report. This was the first time Ben ever read a book from start to finish. And this too was the turning point in his life. After some time of blind reading in order to satisfy his mother, Ben soon realized that the stuff he read was actually useful in class.

Within months, he was on his way to the top of his class. As his grades continued to improve with sustained reading, Ben realized the potential that hard work held, knowledge that was to help him throughout his rise to his prestigious career. Because of his determination and hard work as well as a deep rooted self confidence instilled in him by his mother, the boy who joined school as the dumbest kid at the bottom of the class graduated as the top student and went on to conquer the world of neurosurgery, becoming the first surgeon ever to separate two babies attached at the brain. Bravado!

Personally, I think the story of Ben Carson is truly inspirational. I like and enjoy Ben Carson story a lot. I hope you will learn something out of this short story. Keep a look out for more motivational stories because there will be a lot more coming your way ( very soon ), hope you have enjoyed this story as much as I do. Take care.

Media Sensation Versus The Truth The Case Of Vladimir Kokorev.

Malcolm Endearment once vocal The medias the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and thats power. Years later the arranging of the media may have taken a financial battering, but in terms of its power and distance it is arguably stronger than ever, with an unprecedented power to shape the reputations of mortals and companies with one single story.

Term there are lousy with examples of important journalism throughout the world, there has and been a worrying trend in the fleshing out of weak researched sensational stories. Although for the neutral orator these stories may be a construction of entertainment, it is easy to play past how much damage they can originate to people, families and businesses.

The case of Vladimir Kokorev is a good case - in - point of one compatible story. In 2009 the Spanish media reported that the Russian academic, PhD and valued businessman has been at fault for stealing $26 million from the bridle of Equatorial Guinea.

It sequential emerged that the story was completely sophistical, and around 15 libel trial were brought inveigh various publications. However, by then the damage had been done and the reputation of one of the worlds leading African academics with a career spanning over 35 years: had been tarnished by a story that was entirely untrue.

To understand why this particular story was run by the media in the first place it is worth considering the Kalunga Case.

The Kalunga case was launched by a Spanish NGO Pro Derechos Humanos, an organisation linked to the Guinean opposition residing in Spain and involved in several attempts of military coup against the current government of Equatiorial Guinea the latest, taking place in 2004 in which the mercenary Simon Mann was arrested. The case is directed against several members of the government of Ecquatorial Guinea and their families, and claims that the President of Equatorial Guinea ( Teodoro Obiang ) owned a company called Kalunga, which he had transferred millions of dollars into so he could buy a beach apartment in the Canary Islands of 90 square metres. When it emerged that in fact Kalunga did not belong to Obiang, but to Russian businessman Vladimir Kokorev, there was a media frenzy.

According to the reports Vladimir Kokorev had both stolen 26. 4 million from Equitorial Guinea and at the same time was helping the President buy his luxury apartment ( in reference to 90m2 property mentioned before ) on the Canary Islands where Kalunga had a current account.

What is fascinating about this case is that the media failed to do any research into the Kalunga company itself. Had have done so, not only would they have discovered that it was a highly reputable shipbuilding and repair company, but that it had several contracts with the government of Equitorial Guinea and several private companies operating in Equatorial Guinea. The company had about 250 employees and was responsible for building, repairing and administration of at least 5 mercantile vessels operating in the Gulf of Guinea till today.

Indeed it was the money from these contracts that had been paid into the Kalunga accounts not money intended to buy lavish properties for the President.

With this in mind, the so - called Kalunga case has not been even admitted by the Spanish courts so far, nor was Vladimir Kokorev summoned by the judge even to testify in this case.

When these facts came to light, there was an immediate outpouring of anger and resentment towards the Spanish media in Russian press for attacking a man who has contributed both to the academic circles related to Africa having written numerous books and articles during the Soviet times, some of which are still used as teaching material and to the establishing of businesses in Africa itself no small feat considering all existing entry barriers.

For instance, Russian newspaper Pravda on 29 September 2009 asks the following questions in its article Have the Russians Stolen Guinean Money?: Why did the Spanish newspapers assume that Kalunga was phantom company, without offering any evidence? Why they have decided to launch news in 2009 on an investigation which has taken place in 2005? Is this related to the fact that the presidential elections were to be celebrated in Guinea in November of the same year?

Russian newspaper Rodnaya Gaeta on 16th November 2009 released an article titled A Victim of Spanish - African Conflict. The article details the respectable Russian businessman who deals in sea freight and how he was the victim of a vicious attack by Spanish press.

Russian broadsheet newspaper Parliamentary Gazette released an article titled The Spanish people are missing their colonies and offended by the Kokorevs dated 4thth December 2009. The article detailed how Kokorev recently appeared in court in a bid to protect his honour and dignity after being accused of being a swindler by Spanish papers.

Russian newspaper Nyeeavisimaya published a story about Vladimir Kokorev titled It is necessary to pay more; why a number of mass - media chase cheap sensations dated 14th April 2010 - the article details the courts being filled by 499 judicial claims relating to honour and dignity protection, highlighting the need for higher journalistic standards.

Several more Russian newspapers also leapt to Kokorevs defense. These included the Russian Daily newspaper Novye Izvyestiya ( Businessman Vladimir Kokorev has legal proceeding with Spanish and Russian mass - media on 14th April 2010 ). Broadsheet newspaper Parliamentary Gazette also published an article on 25th December 2009 - The former president of the government of Spain against the businessman from Russia.

All the above articles vigorously defend Kokorevs position and also questioned why the story was run in the first place.

In recent months the first case of libel has been settled with the court ruling in favour of Kokorev going some way to setting the record straight. Nevertheless the case highlights the need for editors, reporters and writers to constantly engage in the highest journalistic standards and fully research stories before going to press.

It is when these principles are observed that journalism is at its best and is a major force for good in the world. However, when the basics are overlooked its easy, in the words of Malcolm X, to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent.

My CSS Success Story

Fit, owing to far because I recollect the first time I heard of CSS was when I was a little school - scene missy. Our teacher told us that her brother had all around the toughest exams on the planet... and I was like ' Oh Man! '

For me, the beginning was absolutely abrupt... My mom had always been pushy with me on the matter of beguiling CSS exams but I always gave it a deaf ear, until December 2010... I don ' t know what ok went into me but I decided to holding up the exams. Grabbed my copy of CSS genie book from the hard by bookstore and selected my subjects wandering... On the 20th of December 2010 I submitted my application... and I uttered to myself ' what have I done??? ' - I had done something I didn ' t have the early inkling of just a life before it.

Anyways, I got down to study... took no stress, uniform though my character was disabled. With a reinforced faith in Allah, I started searching for helpful material on the internet and elsewhere. Nabbed whatever I could get my hands on... but studying them was challenging, especially keeping to the fact that I didn ' t have much of a time and that people around me had high hopes for me. Didn ' t want to abase myself before them... had to do it!!! All this was onerous enough to addle me. ' Do it, Amna ' - my inner voice screamed.

I gave up my social life and occluded myself of my room. A state of hibernation, one could say. Watching TV before going to bed was something I had to hold on to otherwise I would go mad... That ' TV time ' was the time for me to read through MCQs. My preparation was good... in fact, quite good since I was able to manage stress well.

Exam days were not so stressful... I didn ' t touch a single book during those 5 days ( 10 papers in a row ). I would just take the papers, come back home and relax. Just wanted my brains to have some space to breathe.

After much wait, finally the written result came out... now I could tell all my impatient kith and kins about it. The first time I opened up the result document, I gave it a cursory look and hence missed out my name... confused roll numbers with serial numbers... thought my dream had shattered!!! My hopes turned into debacle!!! Then typed my name in the search bar and found I was there. Yes! I had made it!!! I was there!!! Yiipppeee!!! Thanked Allah a thousand times...!

Qualifying written exams did not come up as a surprise but the thought of final result ran chills down my spine. I did study enough this time... had five months to go through newspapers and revise my optional subjects. So, I worked really hard to catch up with it.

Psychological assessment was somewhat fun... It was interesting to have your competitors right in front of you; each and everyone giving their best. The interview went too well... didn ' t drop a single question but the thought of not making it to the merit list was constantly lingering in my head.

At last, the final result came out... merit 114 and 11th position in KPK was all I could wish for. I was safe!!!

Allocations were like a formality... had already known my group through calculations on the forum and my own personal understanding of how things move around. So, I am here today writing this, mesmerizing all that I have been through for this dream - a dream to serve my nation... to TAX them for a prosperous Pakistan!!! Yahhhhooooo!!!!
