Earl Nightingale began by saying the following:
In the year 1843, a man was born who, throughout his
life was going to have a profound impact on millions of
people. He was a lawyer, then a newspaper editor and, for
last, cleric. It was during his time in the church when
an incident occurred that changed her life and that of a without
number of people.
One day, some boys approached Dr. Conwell,
that he was in the church, and they asked him if he would be
willing to offer them some university courses. They wanted
to have access to a university-level education but
they did not have the money to pay it. He told them that
I would do what I could, and when the young people left, a
thought, an idea began to form in the mind
from Dr. Conwell. "Why couldn't there be a good
university for poor young people who deserved to study?

immediately in her. Almost without anyone's help, she raised
seven million dollars, which he used to found one of
the best universities in the world.
Dr. Conwell raised the money by giving more than six
a thousand conferences across the country. In each of them, he
told the anecdote titled "Acres of Diamonds." It

deeply, in the same way that it affected his

from Earl Nightingale. He said:
The anecdote is the story of an African farmer who

he sold the farm and spent the rest of his life wandering around the
vast African continent, searching in vain for the bright
gems that generated extremely high prices in the markets
of the world. Finally, as I remember the anecdote, in a
attack of discouragement, desperate and broke, threw himself to
a river and drowned.
Meanwhile, the man who bought the farm, a

he ended up discovering that the farm was covered with
diamonds. This mine ended up being ONE OF THE MINES
THE RICHEST IN THE WORLD.
The first farmer had literally been the owner of
acres of diamonds, but they had practically sold them
for nothing to go in search of them. If only he had just
taking the trouble to prepare, to learn what it looks like
they have diamonds in their natural state, and would have
having thoroughly explored the land he had, he would have found
the millions he was looking for, within his own farm.
What deeply affected Dr. Conwell about this
anecdote, and then to millions of people, was the idea that
EACH ONE OF US IS, AT THIS MOMENT,
STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS OWN PLOT OF LAND
DIAMONDS.
If only we had the wisdom and the patience to
explore intelligently the work we are doing
today, we would discover what contains the riches that
we seek either financial or abstract, or both.
Before running to the place where we believe
that there are greener pastures, let's make sure that the
ours are not as green or even greener.
You will see, while we look at other prairies, others look at the
ours! It has been said that 'If the other prairies
they look greener, maybe it's because they are being taken care of
more.

That is a phrase I found when I was trying
discover why I had changed. It helped me to
understand that all our opportunities, as well as
our problems are in the perception of the
situations, and that perception is controlled by
our paradigms, which are the models that
we have rooted in our being.
In his book 'Paradigms', Joel Barker said: 'Ignoring

they influence the way you see things, it's about putting yourself

the most important thing, how they can be changed.

that you, for your part, would take a break and think
for a moment in what you just heard.

contributed to the thinking that allowed him to achieve it

Isn't it a beautiful phrase? Now let's go back to
the words of Earl Nightingale. He started by saying
the following:

clients?” Now this man is retired and his son is

I started to see everywhere. When I look towards
back, after decades of experience, it is very obvious
why so few people take advantage of the
opportunities that are right in front of them. Their
paradigms prevent them from seeing these beautiful truths.
The graphic illustrations in the Management Guide explain
clearly why our paradigms affect our
life and our thoughts and while it is true that there exists
an unaltered and creative power that flows constantly
towards our consciousness and through it, our
paradigms blind us and do not allow us to see the
opportunity, and limit the thoughts we choose
