"The sparkle of a true diamond reveals itself.

Projection:
Whenever we make a positive contribution, we expect those around us
to recognize and appreciate it. But there are occasions where we do
not receive such recognition and we then feel disheartened which in
turn doesn't let us give our best in all we do.

Solution:
Whenever we find ourselves expecting people to appreciate us, we
need to remind ourselves that the diamond doesn't need to speak
about it's own sparkle but is recognized because of its speciality.
We, too, need to discover our own speciality and work with it. We
will, then, be satisfied whether we get recognition from others or
not."
