Acres of Diamonds is one of those titles that you cannot judge by
its size. While small, the title is chock full of wisdom for those
who aspire to make more of their lives. "Acres of Diamonds" is the
story of a successful farmer in India named Al Hafed. Hafed is
tempted by the allure of wealth and sells his farm to search the
world for diamonds. Years later he dies penniless, having not found
diamonds. However, back home the man who purchased Hafed's farm
accidentally discovers a huge field of diamonds on Hafed's former
land. Conwell uses this story to illustrate that success often lies
close at hand, if you are willing to open your eyes and mind to
opportunity. Conwell further suggests that most people are "pygmies
of their possible selves," rarely achieving the potential of their
innate abilities or local opportunities. Conwell also discusses his
basic philosophy of business and gives several rules, or
suggestions, for budding entrepreneurs. Conwell, who served with
the Union Army, also mentions his encounter with President Lincoln
just before his assassination. The book is simple and full common
sense. Read and enjoy.
