 “Regardless of externals, every person is a true diamond, the toughest substance in

existence. Everyone has a divine neshama, a pure soul, and regardless of behavior and
outward appearance, every neshama remains intact.”
o Especially during this pandemic, we are more challenged by different circumstances
but regardless of what we’ve been going through we are still intact and we remain as
 strong as ever. Being mentally, physically, and emotionally strong is the trait that a
man needs to possess to be able to face different life challenges given by society. 
 “When you’re counting diamonds, you don’t get tired.”
o We must wait patiently because there is no race in life. We all take life in different
phases and still in the end we will all receive that fulfillment of reaching our goals. 
 “We must recognize that all people are diamonds and help actualize every individual’s
precious potential”
o A person’s abilities and potential can be a hidden gem for some people and that’s
why we must open our minds to possibilities of what a person can do. 
 “The naked eye cannot see the value of souls. One needs a trained eye to be able to
distinguish the true value of a soul.”
o A man’s soul is not determined by appearance but is determined by looking more
deeply at a person. And for that, we should not judge others by their physical appearance
because our beauty is always within us and our physical appearance is just a mask of a
person’s soul. 
 “Every diamond-soul has its own unique personality” 
o We are different by our personality and characteristics which means not every one of
us is the same. We possess a unique trait that makes us stands out.
