Gold is the most precious metal in the world because it is also one of the rarest. But you can't find pure gold simply by bending over and picking up a little shining nugget, hidden away like an Easter egg in the grass.Gold is there, it exists, the earth produces it without effort, but it's up to man to dig it out and reveal its beauty.
How? Through the test of fire. To get rid of gold's natural impurities, they are burned away. The calcified material that remains is purged of its imperfections.
The same applies to diamonds. Did you know that it takes 250 tons of minerals to obtain a 1 carat diamond! And here again, once removed from the earth, every diamond has to be polished and cut...
So although nature does contain its treasures, it is up to man to work with the raw elements and from them fashion beauty.

Did you ever think that you were like raw gold or an uncut diamond? Nature may have spoiled you and created raw beauty in your person, but she also created tests that will purify you and form your true identity. Nothing can forge your character or affirm your identity as well as adversity.
It's up to you to find the degree of heat necessary to melt the impurities that hide your beauty. No one makes an investment without hoping to gain something back in return. It's up to you to do what is necessary to protect the investment that nature has made in you!

"If you cannot yet see the beauty inside you, do what a sculpture does to make a statue beautiful: remove what is not necessary, scratch and polish until the beautiful lines of the stone are revealed." -Plotin +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
