So I was reading a book on risk by Ben Carson. I really admire him and his approach to weighing risk has stuck with me since I read it.

 

Can you imagine how many dumb (or worse!) situations you could get yourself out of if you followed this?

 

* What is the best thing that can happen if I do this?

* What is the worst thing that can happen if I do this?                        

* What is the best thing that can happen if I don't do it?

* What is the worst thing that can happen if I don't do it?

 

I've already started using it and it works.

Just thought I'd share.

Politics aside...

The man is an inspiration. Has a great life story that MANY can look up/aspire to.

If Pete Carol followed that logic he would have given Marshawn Lynch the ball.

No one would poke the bear.

Raider and Slonezp would think twice about that race team.

Ben Carson, well not for me. 

Regardless of your opinion about the man (it was not my intent to start a thread about him per se), you have to admit that his analysis is spot on.

incredible man

A gifted doctor no doubt, but some of his rhetoric is highly questionable.  Personally if I were seeking guidance on how to shape my life,  it may be to the likes of Napoleon Hill, W. Clement Stone, Dale Carnegie or one of my favorites Og Mandino.

What about LL Cool J?   "MOMMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT"  I find it extreme for a first step but in some instances necessary. 

So, he gets credit for telling you to consider the consequences of your actions, but used really short words to say it, and that makes it great? I'm not impressed. Now, tell me he seperated conjoined twins that were attached at the head, well now you're talking!

Did you weigh all the options?

Did you weigh all the options?

I did, and it was good for me since I'm a Pats fan.

 

Worse thing.....could miss the interception and Seattle gets a TD .....loose Superbowl.

Best thing........interception of the ball....win Superbowl.

hahahha!!

He is full of BS

If those words were true they would outlaw marriage

Ben Carson.  I met him.  Can't explain the details (forum policy stuff) but I will pass.
