"Acres of Diamonds" A book review by Sean T. Brown

Is it not true that only the really great writings can stand the test of time? Although this story may seem
ridiculously simple, it is the lesson behind it that is mans continuous folly and will forever keep it revelant now
and beyond our years.

It is a classic story of a farmer disgruntled with his yield, wanting so desparatley to figure out another way to
improve his life beyond his current condition. He becomes frustrated with his land and decides to sale it for pennies
in comparison and packs up to wander his country in search of riches else where. Upon exhausting all his resources,
apparently eluding riches at every turn, he finds himself desolate, indigent, his spirit broken and decides to take
his own life, never to realize him farm was full of "Acres of Diamonds."

This story touches home for me because as an entrepreneur at some point or another we have all been struck with the
"shiny rock" sydrome. Meaning I have spent countless hours at seminars and courses chasing what I thought to be the
next best money making opportunity, only to find out if I would have dug in a little deeper I was only a few feet from
from gold or diamonds.

We all have our skepticism, however I have been proven wrong on a number of occassions, where I took a leap of faith
only to be revealed that I was surrounded by everything I needed, just when I thought it could never be so.
This vision, this third eye if you will, is always open, without practice and conscious effort we have a tendency
to ignore what is right beneath our feet.

I highly recommend reading this e-book, for it is a good reminder that we should first look within before we end up without!

    Sean we often ignore the great things we have right under our noses. We do it all the time... I wish I had my neighbor's car, house, vacation, etc. When we stop to count the blessings right before us, more blessings reveal themselves. No magic pills, just hard work right in our own fields.
