Today's Inspirational Quote:
Society is like a crowd in carniaval costumes with everyone fearful that others will see through his disguise.
SEARCH NO MORE
Ali Hafed was a farmer from Africa, who was happy and contented. One day a priest came to visit him and told him about the glory of diamonds and the power that goes along with having them.After the priest left, the farmer could not sleep that night. The next morning, he sold off his farm, left his family with his neighbor, and set off to search for diamonds.
Back home, the person who had bought his farm was watering the camels at a stream that ran through the farm. He suddenly saw a curious flash of light from the white sands of the shallow stream. Reaching into the water, he pulled out a rough stone that sparkled like the colors of the rainbow.One day the priest came to visit, and saw the sparkling stone. He exclaimed, "Here is a diamond! Is Hafed back?" Together they rushed out to the garden stream and began searching. To their amazement, there came up other more beautiful and valuable stones than the first.
The above story, Acres of Diamonds was lectured by Russell H. Conwell more than 6,000 times during his lifetime. We are forever looking for opportunities elsewhere rather than within us.
