Recently, I was listening to an old Paul Simon track called Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes. You may remember the song; it was from the album Graceland and it had a line that went ...
She makes the sign of a teaspoon. He makes the sign of a wave. The poor boy changes clothes and puts on after-shave to compensate for his ordinary shoes.
You can see the video here ...
And I could say oo oo oo as if everybody knows what I’m talking about. As if everybody would know exactly what I was talking about.
Well, I got to tell you Paul, that everybody did not know what you were talking about!
Anyway, it did remind me of a famous talk, and book, by Russell H Conwell called Acres of Diamonds. It is a personal development classic; and you can get a free copy in our free ebooks section.
The message of the book is that opportunity not only surrounds you right now, it is literally under the soles of your feet. So perhaps there really are diamonds on the soles of Your shoes if you care to look for them.
And, you know what? Read this book and you will know what I’m talking about. Or, in the words of Paul, everybody will know exactly what I’m talking about.
