Diamonds: Eight Key Qualities That Open the Door to the Splendor of Living

The Diamonds referred to here are not precious stones; they are precious people, men and women who have learned how to make their lives count wherever they may be.

Business people or homemakers, teachers or doctors, people in any walk of life who become Diamonds seem to have eight key characteristics that underlie their success. The message of this book is that these qualities can be acquired by anyone who will take the time to see them clearly and apply them firmly.

One way to make this happen is to introduce readers to the Diamonds who already surround them. The lives and thoughts of such people provide all the motivation that is needed.
