One of the best book I’ve ever read is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and not only his fictional story is entertaining, but very, and I mean very inspiring. There are a lot of lessons inserted in each page and at the end it will leave you feeling good about yourself. Not all things in life we need to search far and wide. Most often than not, they’re just where we started right in front of us. It is a story of a young man in search of a treasure, he traveled far, met a lot of people, met a king, met an Alchemist who gave him some sense, met his future wife and eventually found his treasure. It is about following one's dream. Some quotes from the book:
“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
“It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them.”
“When someone sees the same people everyday…they wind up becoming a part of that person’s life. And then they want the person to change. If someone isn’t what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
“What’s the world’s greatest lie? It’s this: that a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what’s happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That’s the world’s greatest lie.”
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.”
“If you start promising what you don’t even have yet, you’ll lose your desire to work toward getting it.”
“Sometimes it’s better to leave things as they are…”
“God has prepared a path for everyone to follow. You just have to read the omens that he left for you.”
“If God leads the sheep so well, he will also lead a man…”
“…making a decision was only the beginning of things. When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.”
“…people need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.”
