Description
“Acres of Diamonds†originated as a speech which Conwell delivered over 6,000 times around the world. It was first published in 1890
This is one of the books used to create the concepts present in The Secret DVD and Book in regards to the law of Attraction. It's a great classic and a bestseller book.
Considered by many to be one of the finest speeches ever written, Acres of Diamonds offers a multitude of lessons about the rewards of work, education, and finding the riches of life in one's own back yard. In an era when many Americans would pack public halls to hear speeches given by the greatest citizens of their day, Russell Conwell read his world-famous lecture hundreds of times, and used the income he earned delivering it to found a small seminary to train Baptist ministers. That school soon grew into Temple University, one of the first universities to offer affordable education to working-class Americans: it stands today as the most visible example of Russell Conwell's legacy and vision.
What is the central idea behind â€Acres of Diamondsâ€?
The central idea of the Acres of Diamonds is that one need not look elsewhere for opportunity, achievement, or fortune—the resources to achieve all good things are present in one’s own community. This theme is developed by an introductory anecdote, told to Conwell by an Arab guide, about a man who wanted to find diamonds so badly that he sold his property and went off in futile search for them; the new owner of his home discovered that a rich diamond mine was located right there on the property. Conwell elaborates on the theme through examples of success, genius, service, or other virtues involving ordinary Americans contemporary to his audience: “dig in your own back-yard!â€.
“Acres of Diamonds†states that anyone can get rich if they tried hard enough. Possibilities are everywhere, we just need to build the right 'eyes' and mind set to find it.
EDITOR Note
This bestseller book is a great tool to establish and reinforce this millionaire mindset and grow rich at all levels of your life.
We believe great knowledge should be available to all for the cost of a small coffee therefore all the books in the Millionaire's Mind-Set Training Series which include Acres of Diamonds is priced at only $2.99
