"あなたは今この瞬間自分自身の「ダイヤモンドの原石」の真ん中に立っています"
— Earl Nightingale
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we don't realize that we already have everything we need to be successful or happy. It's like searching all over for treasure when it's actually right in your backyard. Imagine a farmer who owns land but thinks there's no point in farming it because he believes the soil is poor. He doesn't know that just beneath the surface, there are diamonds waiting to be found. In life, we often look for opportunities or happiness far away or in the future, not realizing that what we have right now can be just as valuable. For example, someone might think they need a new job to be happy, but maybe if they looked closer, they would notice that they could improve their current job and find satisfaction there. The key is to appreciate and make the most of what you have right now. So, look around, recognize the potential in your current situation, and work to uncover the hidden gems that are already there.
