Where is Your Acre of Diamonds? Part 3

We can learn much from Ali Hafed's story. Here are a few things I took away from it.

Common Sense Ideas

• Each of us is right in the middle of our own Acres of Diamonds, if only we would realize it and develop the ground we are standing on before charging off in search of greener pastures

• Opportunity does not just come along – it is there all the time – we just have to see it

• In life, when we go searching for “something,” we should know what that “something” looks, smells and tastes like so that we can recognize it when we find it

• The grass isn’t always greener on the other side

• Before we give up what we already have, make sure that what we’re getting is better than what we already have

• Your family comes first, they are part of your support structure and will help you through the most difficult times

Whenever I read Acres of Diamonds, for some reason I am reminded of the biblical Parable of the Prodigal Son. The Prodigal Son was much wiser because he at least had the common sense to return home and beg forgiveness.Your diamonds are not in far-away mountains or in distant seas; they are usually in your own back yard if you will take the time to look for them.”

What are your feelings toward Ali Hafed? Do you sympathize with him? How might you apply this story to business? We always think that the grass is greener on the other side, but it is seldom that case. In what instances could the grass be greener on the other side? These are good questions worthy of examining on a daily basis.
