Summary

Russell H. Conwell tells the story of Ali Hafed, a contented Persian farmer who hears about diamonds from a priest, sells his farm, and wanders the world in search of them. He dies in poverty, while the man who bought his farm finds the Golconda diamond mine in the garden stream. Conwell adds three more stories of people who left behind great fortunes without knowing it: a California rancher who sold land that held gold, a Pennsylvania farmer who sold land over an oil flow he had been damming up, and a Massachusetts mining expert who sold a homestead with a block of silver in its stone wall. He admits that his listeners, and he himself, have made the same mistake. He ends by telling his Philadelphia audience that they have acres of diamonds right where they live.

Five takeaways

Each one comes from what the speaker said, with its timestamp:

  1. Ali Hafed became poor because he was discontented and feared he was poor, even though he had not lost everything. (3:54)
  2. The California rancher could have had the gold simply by taking it from his own land. (10:01)
  3. The Pennsylvania farmer learned everything about oil and still sold the oil-bearing land for $833. (14:11)
  4. We laugh at those who missed their fortune, but we have made the same mistake and they have the better right to laugh at us. (18:51)
  5. Conwell tells his audience that they have acres of diamonds in Philadelphia right where they live. (20:02)

Three quote graphics

A quote graphic: I say to you that you have acres of diamonds in Philadelphia right where you now live.

Suggested post text: Conwell's message to his own city still fits ours: the opportunity may be right where we live. #AcresOfDiamonds

A quote graphic: He was contented because he was wealthy, and wealthy because he was contented.

Suggested post text: Contentment and wealth, tied together in one line from the story of Ali Hafed. A thought worth carrying into the week.

A quote graphic: Said the old priest, A diamond is a congealed drop of sunlight.

Suggested post text: A priest's simple picture of what a diamond really is, from the story that gives this talk its name.
