5By Jay DuvalAllows me to captivate the knowledge obtained and apply it to my own life; it gives me thought in being my own author from the authors point of view!Acres of Diamonds
5By AphaOmegaBy way of the most humble of manners, this diminutive authorship reveals truth that is every bit as important today as when it was written. What a marvelous effort to reach the youthful intellect of our country but by understanding how “little” things can have an enormous impact on the goodness, value and importance of “giving” life.Great inspiration and call to action
5By Joey puzzlerWhat a splendid collection of moral and financial "diamonds." This book transcends is original time of delivery and speaks to everyone from its conception henceforth. Whether in business or everyday life, the reader can glean some enlightened view of his current situation and learn to make great the stock he or she currently has. We all possess greatness and need to tap into its inner wealth.Acres of Diamonds
5By GotSecurityReading this eloquently presented book reveals why so many of us fail and why so few achieve great heights. It also reveals how all of us can achieve if we are willing to do the work, have common sense and fill a need. Connoly gives excellent examples to drive his point home. This is the ultimate motivator to bring people to know, male or female, that they can do great things right where they are. I loved the examples of all of the inventions by women that were subsequently credited to a man. Amazing!.
