Ben Carson's life changed because of his mom and her decisions for her children.  Mr. Carson became a world renown neurosurgeon and was a previous candidate for president of the United States.  He shares the experience when his life turned around, all because his mom required him to do some very hard things (perhaps we will talk about the power of books in a future episode).  Of all the powerful forces in the world, moms may be the most dynamic.  This episode is both a reminder to listen to your mom but also an encouragement to moms -as tired as you are, as ill equipped as you may feel, your love (often in the form of tough love) and purposeful efforts in the lives of your children are beyond measure.  In their character training, you are the most powerful force!
