Albert Einstein said， “In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.” Once  41  ， such opportunities are like valuable diamonds hidden in the sand.

Several years ago， I spoke at a school about how we are surrounded(包圍) by“  42  ”if we could only recognize them. A man stopped by to see me, I  43  him as somebody who had suffered through a(n)  44  divorce(離婚)and was examining what was most important to him. He took a small  45  out of his pocket. Here is what he said to me that day:

“I  46  on this stone when I was leaving church last Sunday. You had spoken about  47  opportunities―diamonds. I put the stone in my  48  to remind me to look for those diamonds that I need. I have been trying to sell my  49  . On Monday morning， a man who seemed interested in  50  some of my stock(股票)stopped by. I thought，‘Here’s my diamond―don’t let it  51  !’I sold the entire stock to him by noon. Now my next diamond is to find a new  52  !”

Not long afterward， he did find a new and better job. From then on， he  53  to keep his stone with him all the time as a   54  to look for“diamonds”as he digs through the  55  of life.

Richard DeVos is right when he  56  ，“This is an exciting world. It is filled with opportunities.  57  moments wait around every corner.”Those moments are diamonds that，  58  left unrecognized， will be forever lost.

Are you looking for“diamonds”every day? If not， you may  59  pass them by! Perhaps there is a diamond of opportunity hidden in the difficulty you’re  60  now.
