It's very hard, very bright, and very beautiful Most of you have probably seen coal, too. It's a dull black and it crumbles easily. Now a little chemistry lesson. Who can tell me how coal and diamonds are alike? That's right both are made from the element carbon. But a diamond has great value because it is rare. I compare the diamond to a man of sharp mind, a strong body, and shining bright spirit. The coal might be compared to a man who is not mentally sharp, physically tough, or spiritually bright. Someone once said that a diamond is just a piece of coal that stuck to it. Over many millions of years, its brilliance was caused by the heat and pressure inside our earth. My hope is that, like the diamond, yoU: will stick to it by following our Scouting ideals. If you do, you will become an example of what a man should be.
