Acres Of Diamonds Book Review

A classic writing from Dr. Russell Conwell

While Dr. Conwell was a man of variable traits and successes, he had a high esteem for his follow man and teaching others to be successful through his habits and life experiences. I believe he felt all men and women could be successful if only to use the tools at their hands, learn from their experiences, not overlook the obvious, keep their focus and wits about them. Are these not the traits we are learning in the Challenge?

Dr. Conwell talks of many who over looked riches and wealth they had right in front of them for the bigger over-all picture of wealth they were pursuing. Most tried so hard to find the things they wanted, they never managed to reach their goals. Had they looked at the smaller picture, focused, and used their resources better, they could certainly have achieved their overall goals.

He also alludes to the fact that man or woman must learn to earn. That by being given the silver spoon, so to speak, not many if any, have ever sustained. By learning the value of hard work and money, one can truly appreciate the fruits of their labor and success, but not without. Not knowing true value of their wealth in most instances has only lead to failure in the end.

Conwell emphasizes that to do well in business, as well as, life in general you should know your audience. By this I mean to get to know the people you will supply with product or service. By determining need and knowing the person/s with which you want to do business you can not help but be successful. Is this not another of the teachings we have been shown throughout our apprenticeship here...learn to show 'Value'. When value is shown to others first, they will want to know more about us and perhaps, most likely do business with us if our criteria meets their needs or refer us to others that may be looking for our services.

I found Dr. Conwell's book quite interesting and it made me think quite a bit about my life, where I have been and where I am headed. It makes me wonder 'what if ' or perhaps 'what have I overlooked or taken for granted' ? Maybe where I should have 'zigged' instead of 'zagged'. It makes me wonder why I have not had the success I have surely thought I would have. It has enlightened me and presented me with findings that surely will have an impact as I move forward and continue to grow. Surprisingly, or perhaps not so much so, it causes me to see the values that the mentors of this great program are attempting to bring forth from us all. The qualities they are trying to instill within us as we move forward with our over-all lives. And, as in the past, there is certainly a method to the madness. :)

And since some who read this over time may not really realize the process or metamorphoses to which I have been exposed, just know that to take the time to read this book can hopefully put you on the same path. The teachings that Dr. Conwell exposes can be both eye-opening and contagious to your overall success if digested properly. So go to the link provided and take the time to read this magnificent, timeless work of art and learn where your 'Acres of Diamonds' is hidden before you go throughout life looking for something that is right in front of, or perhaps even under, you.
