The Brilliance of a Hidden Diamond


Triumph shared, in defeat crushed alone
Praise for all, criticism is your own
Joys spread, sorrows singularly borne
Expectations of others, regrets to you only known

Efforts by many, passion yours alone
Moments spent with others, cherished memories your own
Doubts cast by all, hope in you sown
Dejection crippled many, ambition and dreams yours to hone

The world blind to the inner zone
The real side to all, but us, unknown
Stones everywhere, but a hidden diamond brilliantly shone
Lost in a crowd, a PERSON grown

  2. Excellent!!! To find a diamond within oneself, is a difficult exercise to carry out...
    And a perfect manager has to find out d hidden diamond in their subordinates...then only he/she will succeed...
    Jo has given us d readymade "diamond strategy' to realise our true potential...

  4. it has become obvious that comments are synonymous to praises in case of this blog.... but beware i have some different ideas for this extract...
    1) It has generated out of complete boredom which makes it of no use to mankind unless they have interacted with the JO...
    2)all the words and contexts used here are given by the digital jotionary which was fixed into her brain ages ago....more to come .. !

  6. "Diamonds are girls best friend", says a theory. Now where will u find a diamond...? obviously on a girl. So indirectly in this write-up, Jo wants all the guys to search for a girl for themselves.

    It's really amazing Joe... I am waiting for my diamond.
    Great job...
