Dr． Conwell was greatly inspired by a true story．The story was about a farmer who lived in Africa and through a visitor became greatly excited about looking for diamonds．Lots of diamonds were already discovered on the African continent and this farmer got so excited about the idea of millions of dollars worth of diamonds that he sold his farm to head out to the diamond line．He wandered all over the continent，as the years went by，constantly searching for diamonds，wealth，which he never found．Eventually he went completely broke and threw himself into a river and drowned．
Meanwhile，the new owner of his farm picked up an unusual looking rock about the size of an egg and put it on his coat as a sort of curiosity．A visitor stopped by and looked at the rock in surprise．He told the new owner of the farm that the funny looking rock on his coat was about the biggest diamond that had ever been found．The new owner of the farm said，“Oh，the whole farm is covered with them”—and sure enough it was．
The farm turned out to be the Kimberly Diamond Mine，the richest the world has ever known．The original farmer was literally standing on “Acres of Diamonds” until he sold his farm．

Recently，we have had a discussion in our class about whether parents are our best
teachers．
Some students agree with the point because they think parents help to point out their mistakes in their lives．They teach them a lot about how to live a meaningful life．What’s more，parents’ love helps to teach them how to love others．So parents are their most important teachers．
However，not all of us hold the same views．Some think that their parents give them too much love，and they are eager to pass on their values and interests to them．Moreover，their parents sometimes expect too much of them，which makes them feel that their goals are too difficult to reach．
In my opinion，parents are our important teachers，but parents should also try to understand their children more and narrow the generation gap．
