“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.”

“I don’t know if I’ll get in at Stanford,â€� one premed said to me after he had sent in his application. “Or anywhere else,â€� he added.
Another mentioned a different school, but the students� worries were essentially the same. I seldom got involved in what I called freaking out, but this kind of talk happened often, especially during our senior year.
One time when this freaking out was going on and I didn’t enter in, one of my friends turned to me, “Carson, aren’t you worried?�
“No,� I said. “I’m going to the University of Michigan Medical School.�
“How can you be so sure?�
“It’s real simple. My father owns the university.�
“Did you hear that?� he yelled at one of the others. “Carson’s old man owns the University of Michigan.� Several students were impressed. And understandably because they came from extremely wealthy homes. Their parents owned great industries. Actually, I had been teasing, and maybe it wasn’t playing fair. As a Chrisitan, I believe that God� my Heavenly Father� not only created the universe, but He controls it. And, by extension, God owns the University of Michigan and everything else.
I never did explain.”
