THINK BIG was the title of the conference keynote address and it stands for:
T Talent - know and share your talents so you can be valuable to others
H Honesty - if you are truthful the first time you never have to wonder what you said!
I Insight - learn from others successes and failures
N Nice - be nice, you can get so much more done when you put others first
K Knowledge - seek to learn
B Books -be a reader
I In depth - don't just peruse - study it out in detail
G God - recognizing God helps to give you values and principles to guide your life
Dr. Carson reminded us to make sure we celebrate academic achievement and encourage the kids we are in contact with to excel and apply the THINK BIG principles in their lives. He made it clear he is not politically correct and in every talk he gives he offends someone. He challenges us to not be easily offended and challenge being PC if it stifles open communication and debate.
He said, "If two people agree on everything, then one of them is not necessary!" I love that!
Thank you Dr. Carson! This was by far the best keynote address I have ever heard! Best wishes to you and your Academy of Achievement!
