GIFTED HANDS: The Ben Carson Story (2009)
Starring: Cuba Gooding Jr.
"Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next." — Dr. Ben Carson (world famous neurosurgeon)
THE ULTIMATE GIFT (2006)
Starring: Drew Fuller
Growing-up is a process and it admits no shortcuts. When one makes attempts to skip steps, he risks throwing away life's gifts necessary to complete the process.
"Any process you are going through will get tougher before it gets easier. That's what make learning a gift. Even though pain is your teacher." -- Red Stevens
AKEELAH AND THE BEE (2006)
Starring: Keke Palmer and Angela Basett
No one is born a winner. One has to work on his God-given talents. First, he tries to discover what they are. Next, he tries to develop them with hard work--which requires study, practice and a lot of patience. Lastly, he learns to share them with others and encourage others to develop their own talents.
Memorable movie lines:
Akeelah: [quoting Marianne Williamson] Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
Dr. Larabee: Does that mean anything to you?
Akeelah: I don't know.
Dr. Larabee: It's written in plain English. What does it mean?
Akeelah: That I'm not supposed to be afraid?
Dr. Larabee: Afraid of what?
Akeelah: Afraid of... me?
