Does Size Matter?

Diamond. Some, or all? say size does matter.  "Carat, the bigger the better".  So what about the colour? clarity? and cut? Irrelvant? It should not be. Diamond has so many qualities and it's each individual quality together that makes every diamond special and unique.  Every diamond is dear and treasured in its own way.

People.  Some, or almost all? believe in social status and wealth.  The wealthier, the more famous the better person he/she is.  It should not be.  People nowadays seem to have neglected the very core that defines a person - Virtue.  Before the world as it is now, we used to treasure and admire people with courage, endurance, patience, perseverance, will and many other inner values than a mere judging of which super sports car he is driving or what a big diamond she has on her finger!  Every individual is unique and special in his/her very own way.




People say one can tell how much he loves his girl from the size of the diamond he buys.  Can you, really?  I say, NO, you cannot.  The size of the diamond, to a certain extent, can tell the size of his wallet (not conclusive, though) but certainly not the depth of his love nor the size of his heart.

From diamond to people, sometimes I wonder, is it a time that we should quiet down and have a thought, bigger a diamond is not always a better diamond and richer a person is not always a better person.

Size DOES matter, if one holds a big heart that fills with love and light!

From Rough to Dazzle




Life is like diamond.

Yes, it's true. I am not referring to the value of diamond per say .. ... ....

From an ordinary rough stone transforms into a faceted gem, that precious has to first be found in a mine, then being cut, cleave, brute then polish.  A diamond is being graded by its carat, color, cut and clarity.  We, human beings, from the second that we are born into this world we started our never-ending learning process.  We learn how to walk, how to talk, how to write, how to interact with people, we learn how to love and not to hate.  The path that we travel, the experience that we gain, the lessons that we learn, shape us into who we are, where we are and what we do.

We treasure our values - integrity, decency and honesty.

From a rough stone to a diamond; from a baby to an adult; we learn, we grow, we shine & dazzle!
