Quote/Piece of Advice: We all have a diamond inside. It only shines if we are willing to polish it. We are all born with that raw diamond. There is this brilliance inside of it. But it's dull unless we polish it, unless we maintain it, and unless we come back to it more and more over time. So it's important that we realize what it is and it's important that we work on it.
