Russell H. Conwell

    15. september 1843 – 6. december 1925

    Russell Herman Conwell bol baptistický kazateľ a filantrop, ktorý založil Temple University. Je najviac spomínaný pre svoju inšpiratívnu prednášku, ktorá povzbudzovala ľudí, aby hľadali príležitosti vo svojom vlastnom okolí, namiesto toho, aby ich zbytočne hľadali inde. Jeho práca zdôrazňuje myšlienku, že bohatstvo a úspech sú často na dosah ruky, ak človek dokáže rozpoznať a využiť svoje vlastné zdroje a okolnosti.

      Ľudia hľadali poklady po celom svete, no často prehliadli diamantové polia priamo na svojich dvoroch. Toto dielo od Russella H. Conwella je jedným z najznámejších amerických rozprávaní, ktoré zostáva pravdivé a inšpirujúce aj po 100 rokoch. Sláva tohto rozprávania spočíva v unikátnych metódach a duchu rozprávača. Conwell prichádzal do miest skoro ráno, aby sa porozprával s miestnymi obyvateľmi, vrátane riaditeľov škôl, kňazov a gazdiniek. Získaval tak poznatky o histórii a možnostiach obyvateľov, aby im mohol ukázať "diamantový poklad", ktorý sa nachádzal na ich dvoroch. V knihe sa prostredníctvom kázania vo Filadelfii prihovára čitateľom s posolstvom, že "tu vo Filadelfii" sa vzťahuje aj na "tu u vás" vo vašom meste. Inšpirujúce príbehy mnohých ľudí ukazujú, ako niektorí uspeli v objavovaní obrovského potenciálu, ktorý mali na dosah, zatiaľ čo iní ho prehliadli. Toto klasické rozprávanie odolalo skúške času a dodnes povzbudzuje čitateľov, aby odhalili a ocenili zdroje a možnosti, ktoré ich obklopujú. Pripomína, že skutočná veľkosť a zisky prichádzajú z rozpoznania potrieb ostatných.

      One who lived in Lincoln's time, and who has read the thousand books they say have been written about him in the half century since his death, may still be dissatisfied with every description of his personality and with every analysis of his character. He was human, and yet in some mysterious degree superhuman. Nothing in philosophy, magic, superstition, or religion furnishes a satisfactory explanation to the thoughtful devotee for the inspiration he gave out or for the transfiguring glow which at times seemed to illumine his homely frame and awkward gestures. Russell Conwell (1843-1925) was an American Baptist minister, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer.

      Why Lincoln Laughed (Unabridged)
    • The original inspiration for his most famous essay, "Acres of Diamonds", occurred in 1869 when Conwell was traveling in the Middle East. The central idea of the work is that one need not look elsewhere for opportunity, achievement, or fortune-the resources to achieve all good things are present in one's own community. This theme is developed by an introductory anecdote, credited by Conwell to an Arab guide, about a man who wanted to find diamonds so badly that he sold his property and went off in futile search for them. The new owner of his home discovered that a rich diamond mine was located right there on the property. Conwell elaborates on the theme through examples of success, genius, service, or other virtues involving ordinary Americans contemporary to his audience: "dig in your own backyard!". The book has been regarded as a classic of New Thought literature since the 1870s. Russell Conwell (1843-1925) was an American Baptist minister, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer.
