Sometimes life’s lessons can be
gleaned from little and seemly inconsequential events, such as reading a very good
book or watching a wonderful movie. Yes, they say “experience is the best
teacher”, but I guess there is no harm in learning from someone else’s experience
and that is what the inspirational book that has also been made into a movie
titled Gifted Hands does.
It teaches you vital life lessons
which is believable, since it is a true story, as it depicts what a person can
accomplish through hard work, dedication, and believing that anything is
possible if you put your mind to it.
The story focuses on the life of a Pediatric
Neurosurgeon; Dr. Benjamin Carson, who not only went against all odds to become
the first Pediatric Neurosurgeon to perform a Hemispherectomy but also went
through a childhood filled with anger, racism and low self-esteem.
But with love and constant
encouragement from his Mother, who had insecurities of her own, and his
unwavering faith in God he turned out to be greater than he had ever imagined.
Gifted hands by Ben Carson is a book/movie for those who are plagued with insecurities, anger and the fear of trying.

Enjoy either reading the book or
watching the movie. It’s worth your time.
I cannot wait to watch this movie! I read the book and hope that it's as good on screen as it is in words.
