to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your

I have to come to realize that God does not want to punish us, but rather, to fulfill

...I became acutely aware of an unusual ability--a divine gift, I believe--of

extraordinary eye and hand coordination. Its my belief that God gives us all gifts,

special abilities that we have the privilege of developing to help us serve Him and

humanity. And the gift of eye and hand coordination has been an invaluable asset in

surgery. This gift goes beyond eye-hand coordination, encompassing the ability to

understand physical relationships, to think in three dimensions. Good surgeons must

understand the consequences of each action, for theyre often not able to see whats

happening to see on the other side of the area in which the area theyre actually

working.

First, we cannot overload the human brain. This divinely created brain has fourteen

billion cells. If used to the maximum, this human computer inside our heads could

contain all the knowledge of humanity from the beginning of the world to the present

and still have room left over. Second, not only can we not overload our brain - we

also know that our brain retains everything. I often use saying that "The brain acquires

everything that we encounter." The difficulty does not come with the input of

information, but getting it out. Sometimes we "file" information randomly of little

importance, and it confuses us.

Reading activates and exercises the mind.

Reading forces the mind to discriminate. From the beginning, readers have to

recognize letters printed on the page, make them into words, the words into sentences,and the sentences into concepts.
