Customer Reviews
Ok
Ok read. The moral is that you should look at the green grass under your feet rather than that on the other side of the fence. This is driven home by multiple repeating storylines throughout.
Still a short good read.
Acres of Diamonds
Reading this eloquently presented book reveals why so many of us fail and why so few achieve great heights. It also reveals how all of us can achieve if we are willing to do the work, have common sense and fill a need.
Connoly gives excellent examples to drive his point home. This is the ultimate motivator to bring people to know, male or female, that they can do great things right where they are.
I loved the examples of all of the inventions by women that were subsequently credited to a man. Amazing!.
