i gave you a diamond that someone gave to me

it has such a affect on my life i thought it might do the same for you

but i quickly came to the conclusion that a treasure to me may not be a treasure to you

we change from being totally self-centered to mostly self-centered

wanting to help and give to others, but we have no power greater than example or suggestion

that in itself can be a deterrent to putting it out there, because our attempts may have little or no affect

the limitations of man keep many men from reaching out because they are afraid of failure

but the real failure is not being true to ourselves

it is incumbent for me to offer, after that i am helpless

i tried that was the diamond for me

always a treasure hunter and a treasure giver

some see diamonds, some see stones
