In this age of affluence many people when they meet obstacles give up and take the course of least resistance. They refuse to stand up and face the problems eye-to-eye.
Little do they realize that sometimes the things against which they rebel most in life and look upon as obstacles are what they need most to develop their highest usefulness and efficiency.
If a diamond could talk, it would undoubtedly express resentment against the abrasive, grinding contact of the jeweler’s wheel that grinds and polishes its facets. Yet without the jeweler’s grinding wheel, the diamond has little commercial value. The swiftly revolving wheel cuts into the surface of the diamond and from a common – appearing pebble produces a gem of beauty that is admired and sought after. There is no other way to make a diamond except by grinding and polishing.
In the same way, human life must be subjected to difficulties; adversities and discipline to bring out those qualities that will make life of value to the owner.
