Ben Carson,a doctor at Johns Hopkins Children's Center,
talks about how he grew up in a poor Detroit neighborhood, where peer pressure almost controlled his behavior and even his clothes. He wanted so badly to be considered cool that he begged his mother to buy him an expensive Itlian shirt.
"My mother made me a deal," Carson remembers."She said
, 'I'll give you all the money I make next week. You'll be in charge of the family finances-buying food and other necessities and paying the bills. whatever you have left over you can spend on whatever you want.'"
"I thought, this is going to be great," Carson says.
"I bought things we needed most and then began going
through the bills. Of course I ran completely out of
money long before everything was paid."
"Then I realized my mother,with her third-grade education, was a financial genius-just to keep food on our table and clothes on our backs with such a small
sum of money. I'd been a fool. I wanted her to buy me a $75 shirt when she only took home $100 a week, cleaning other people's floors and washing their toilets. I tool a hard look at my behavior and wondered
who I could be so selfish."
"I started studying again. My grades went back up to A's . Some of my peers laughed at me because I did not follow their pattern .But I refused to let that trouble me, because I had a goal."
The experience had a lasting effect."I not only saw
and felt the difference my mother mother made in my life, L am living out that difference as a man."

本卡森,约翰霍,是普金斯儿童中心的医生.
当他谈到他是如何在一个贫穷的底特律社区环境中长大的,在那里周围的无形压力几乎控制了他自己的行为,甚至他的衣服.他想亟需考虑的冷静,他恳求他的母亲给他买一件昂贵的意大利衬衫.
“我母亲让我达成协议,”卡森回忆说,“她说,我会把下周挣得所有钱都交给你.条件是由你主管家庭财务,您要购买食品和其他生活必需品,以及支付帐单.最后剩余的钱你想怎么花就怎么花掉它“
“我想,这太好了.”卡森说.
“我开始想家中最需要购买什么的东西,然后开始想那些账单.当然,我完全可以不购买一点东西,就把钱花光.”
“后来我意识到仅受过三年级教育的母亲,其实是一个金融天才,仅仅用如此小的一笔钱就保证了我们的餐桌上的食物和身上的衣服.我一直是个傻瓜.我希望她给我买75美元的衬衫时,而她只花100元就可以把一个星期吃的和用的东西都买回家,（这些钱是她）每周清洗别人的地板和厕所的收入.对我的行为做一个深刻剖视后,我知道我是多么的自私.“
“我开始学习了.我的成绩又回到了A.我的一些同事嘲笑我,因为我没有模仿他们的行为.但我拒绝远离这些麻烦,因为我有一个目标.”
这个经历对我产生了深远的影响.“我不但看到了,并且感受到了我母亲在生活方面的不同,同时对比发现,我作为一个男人在对待生活方面的行为,与她的有所不同.“
