Follow @brotherbenx “The gifted person, who has the gift but not the character to go along with the gift, must be careful because the gift can become the means of the student’s destruction. A good teacher will carry the gifted one to the threshold of pain and then take them over that threshold, and continues to give the student painful experiences. Why is this? Because to become great in any field, you will inspire the evil emotion of envy in others who want to be great in that field, but cannot equal the one who is supremely gifted of God. The envy of the envier causes the envier to criticize you harshly, to throw stumbling blocks in your path. If you lack the character to persevere past or through your pain from someone who is in your field, but hates you because you are doing well or better than he or she is doing; if that embitters you; if that becomes an impediment in your spirit, then you cease to become as great an artist or a professional as you could have become if you did not allow the surrounding emotions to become a stumbling block in the pathway of your progress.” - The Honorable Minister #LouisFarrakhan #BrotherBenX #makeithappenmonday #mrmih215 #wmihradio #phillyradio (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIgvGydBRhY/?igshid=42jotdihbtla
