The Alchemist !

The Alchemist written by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, is about a magical fable about following your dream. If you have already read the book you will enjoy going back to your dreams in these articles, if you haven't read the book I'm sure you are going to read the book soon.

The whole story and climax in the novel is about following your dream, the journey and realization of that dream. In initial sections our hero 'the Shepherd' has conversation with his father about his interest in traveling. The dialogue is follows.

His Father says "The people who come here have lot of money to spend, so they can afford to travel. Amongst us, the only one who travel are the shepherds"
"Well, then I'll be shepherd "

This is how the boy becomes shepherd , he chooses what he wants to do. So many times in our life we come across things which we really want to do and due to various reasons we don't choose them. May be you don’t have big enough dream. I heard it somewhere " A big dream is not something which wake you -up from the sleep but something that does not allow you to sleep"

Some the sentences in the book are truly amazing and some of them are
The possibility of a dream come true makes Life interesting
All they think about is food and water
A shepherd always takes his chances with wolves and with drought. And that's what makes a shepherd's life exciting
It is simple things in life that are extraordinary
I only interpret dreams. I don't know how to turn them into reality
If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry
Everyone seems to have a clear idea about how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own
Worlds greatest lie : It is this that at certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our loves becomes controlled by fate. That's world's greatest lie
