The source is a lecture entitled “Acres of Diamonds” delivered by Russell H. Conwell, a minister and educator. Conwell argues that wealth is within everyone’s reach and that those who seek it in far-off places often miss the opportunities right in front of them. He uses several anecdotal examples, such as the story of Ali Hafed, a farmer who sold his land to seek diamonds, to illustrate this point. Conwell argues that true success comes not from inherited wealth or political office, but from hard work, ambition, and recognizing the needs of one’s community.
