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. The priest said, "if you have a diamond the size of your thumb, you could have your own city. If you had a diamond the size of your fist, you could own the whole country." After the priest left, the farmer could not sleep that night. he became unhappy and discontented with what he had, and the whole night he thought to himself how rich and powerful he would become if he could possess some diamonds. The next morning, he sold off his farm, left his family with his neighbour, and set off to search for diamonds. He travelled all over Africa, but could not find any. He looked all over europe and couldn’t find any. Finally, he became emotionally,physically and financially broke and decided to take his own life by throwing himself into the river. 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 colours of the rainbow.Finding the stone interesting, he took it back to his house and placed it as decoration piece in his living room. One day the priest came to visit, and saw the sparkling stone. he exclaimed,"Here is a diamond! Is Hafed back?"" The man replied, "No, no, Hafed has not returned, and that is not a diamond. It is only a stone I found right here in the garden." When the priest heard this, he declared, "I know a diamond when i see one."

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. Thus, was discovered the largest diamond mine in the world.

Success Principles : The above story, Acres of Diamonds was lectured by Russell H. conwell more than 6000 times during his lifetime. With the funds from the above lectures he founded Temple University.

We are forever looking for opportunities elsewhere rather than within us. "Acres of Diamonds" taught us that the riches and opportunities that we are seaching are within us. As the saying goes, "the grass on the other side always appear to be greener."Diamonds in its rough form do not look like diamonds. The raw diamonds need to be skillfully worked on and polished before they are of value. Likewise most of us are like the raw diamonds, and need to be worked on and polished before we realize our full potemtial.

Years ago, some scientist did a simple experiment on a bullfrog. They threw a bullfrog into a container of boiling water, and the bullfrog instantly popped out of the boiling water. Next they put the bullfrog into a container of cold water. The bullfrog liked it and stayed at the bottom of the container. As the water got warmer, the bullfrog relaxed and took a nap. The bullfrog was so comfortable that it stayed in the container and was "cooked".

Success Principle : Most of us are in the "comfort zone". We have a house to go home to, a nice bed to sleep on, food in fridge, a group of friends to mingle with, along with some basic necessities of life. We have worked hard to get to where we are now. So why should we change this? The truth is most of us are like the bullfrog, because we feel warm and comfortable, we refuse to get out of our comfort zone, and prefer to stay where we are. In life we are either creating or disintegrating. There is no such thing as "staying where we are", because there is always movement. So if we are not moving ahead in life, we must by nature, be moving in the opposite direction.

This is the story of Robby. He was a young boy who lived with his elderly mother. His mother wanted him to learn how to play the piano because she longer to hear her son play for her. She sent her son to a piano teacher who took Robby in under her guidance. However, there was one small problem because Robby was not musically inclined and therefore was very slow in learning. The teacher did not have much faith in the boy because of his weakness. The mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would send Robby to the teacher. One day Robby stopped attending the piano lessons. The teacher thought that he had given up and in fact she was quite pleased since she did not give much hope to Robby. Not long after, the piano teacher was given a task to organize a piano concert in town. She sent out circulars to invite the students and public to attend the event. Suddenly, she received a call from Robby who offered to take part in the concert. The teacher told Robby that he was not good enough and that he was no longer a student since he had stopped coming for lessons. Robby begged her to give him a chance and promised that he would not let her down. Finally, she gave in and she put him to play last, hoping that he will change his mind at the last minute. When the big day came, the hall was packed and the children gave their best performance. Finally, it was Robby’s turn to play and as his name was announced, he walked in. He was not in proper attire and his hair was not properly groomed. The teacher was really nervous since Robby’s performance could spoil the whole evening’s brilliant performance. As Robby started playing the crowd became silent and were amazed at the skill of this little boy. In fact, he gave the best performance of the evening. At the end of his presentation the crowd and the piano teacher gave him a standing ovation. The crowd asked Robby how he managed to play so brilliantly. With a microphone in front of him, he said, "I was not able to attend the weekly piano lessons as there was no one to send me because my mother was sick with cancer. She just passed away this morning and I wanted her to hear me play because when she was alive she was deaf and now I know she is listening to me. I have to play my best for her!"

Success Principles : This is indeed a touching story of love and excellence. When you have a passion and a reason to do something, you will surely excel.

There was once a boy who wanted to seek the secret of success. One day he approached a wise man living up in the mountain. When he found the wise man at the hut,he asked, "Wise man,can you tell me the secret to becoming successful in life?" The wise man was silent for a while. After a moment of silence,the wise man led the young lad to a nearby river. They kept walking into the river until the boy’s head was fully submerged in the water. The boy struggled to keep his head above the water. To his astonishment, the wise man did not help him. Instead, the wise man held the boy’s head in the water. After a few minutes the wise man pulled the boy out of the water and they proceeded to walk back to the hut. At the hut the wise man asked the young boy what he desired most when his head was submerged in water. To this the young boy quickly responded, "Of course, I wanted to breathe , you old fool!" To which the wise man replied, "Son, if you desire success as much as you wanted to breathe, then you would have found the true secret of success."

Success Principles

Success is a matter of choice. If we have enough strong reasons, there is nothing that we cannot do. Once we have the reasons to do something, we will surely find the ways to do it. A mere wish would not make things happen. It is a burning desire, turned into an obsession that will generate the energy to bring you to achieve any goal that you may desire.

Just to share a little of my knowledge. Hope you can enjoy the story.

Once upon a time,there’s a mighty General who have never lost any war he fought. He always lead his army to victory regardless of how outnumbered his army is.This is because of his knowledge and experience of war and most importantly,he have this horse called ‘chien li ma‘ or in direct translation to english ‘Thousand Miles Horse’. It’s his horse that always lead to him victory.

One day,after winning a battle,on his way home he got lost because of the joy from winning another tough battle. He was lost in the forest but luckily he was smart enough to find the river and follow it downstream. Upon running down the stream,he saw his house right opposite the river but he wasn’t sure how deep it was. If he were to make a turn when the river comes to the end,it would take him another 2 days of journey so he thought of giving it a try to cross it.

Luck was on his side when he saw a child playing nearby the river. The child seems very familiar with the place so the General asked the child if he’s familiar with the place. The child said ‘yes, of course i’m familiar with this place. I play at here every evening at this time.’ With a big smile on the General’s face, he asked again ‘Boy,do you think uncle’s horse can cross the river?’ After a moment of inspection by the child, he says ’sure,why not?’

Withough hesitation the General cross the river with the horse. it wasn’t until the middle of the river that the horse starts to drown and within minutes,the horse could not be seen anymore. The General is lucky because he can swim and he swam all the way back to the child. With anger written on his face, he wanted to kill the child because he had just lost his precious horse. When he swung the sword, the child asked to be spared and be given a chance to explain himself.

The General being kind and pityfull towards the child gave the child a chance to explain before he execute the child. The child said ‘Uncle uncle, please dont kill me. Let me explain myself. I play at here everyday and i see my grandma’s duck swim across the river back and forth everytime easily,and their legs are so short. How come your horse’s leg so long also cant cross?’

Who do you think is wrong?

A) General

B) Child

C) Horse

Well off course its the horse, how could it be so stupid to drown? Lolz just joking…please laugh even if its not funny.

The answer is the General. Why?

Moral : Because the General shouldn’t have asked the child in the first place. He could have analyze the situation better then the child. The child being a child have not much knowledge to tell that ducks can definitely swim better then horses.

The same is when you want to fix your car,please ask a mechanic for advice instead of asking a doctor. And if you want to take your tooth out, see a dentist and not a mechanic. You should ask someone who is proffesional in that field no matter what problems you wanna ask. Get the point?

There’s many in the world,but the important thing is how you look at them. Some will say ‘no’ to opportunities when they come while some will say ‘yes’.Some thinks that opportunities are opportunities but some think otherwise. But the fact is everyone has been given a chance or opportunity to change their life. Its whether they choose to grab it or to let it go. So NEVER say you’ve not gotten the chance to change ur life no matter how old you are. if you really think so….pass me a msg and i shall try and help you. CHEERS

Not sure what it is? Send me a msg and i’ll give u more details. cheers…
