The Alchemist...

The Alchemist is a great treasure in a book. Authored by Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian writer . He worked wonders on this fable that yet another dreamer, as he himself, can only tell of the tale. A book like so rare that we couldn't find much these days.

It tells of a story of Santiago, a shepherd, and of how he fulfilled his Personal Legend. This book can help us discover our treasures of life, the path that will lead us there, and of facing adversities that we may encounter along the way. Life is an evolution and it's only desire is to fulfill itself.

Such full of wisdom, the Alchemist unraveled to us about life in a language that people can hear and understand even in silence...

Some quotes from the book:

Dreams are the language of God. When we speak in our language, i can interpret what he said. But it speaks in the language if the soul, it is only you who can understand.

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.

The Soul of the world is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness,envy, and jealousy. To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation. All things are one.

If you start but by promise what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work toward getting it.

In order to find the treasure, you will have to follow the omens. God has prepared a path for everyone to follow. You just have to read the omens that he left for you.

The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.

I'm like everyone else - I see the world in terms of what i would like to see happen, not what actually does.

Only one thing makes a dream impossible: fear of failure.

It's called the principle of favorability, beginner's luck. Because life wants you to achieve you Personal Legend.

You have been a real blessing to me. Today, I understand something I didn't see before:" every blessing ignored becomes a curse. I don't want anything else in life. But you are forcing me to look at wealth and at horizons I have never known. Now that i have seen them, and now that i see how immense my possibilities are, I'm going to feel worse than i did before you arrived. Because I know the things I should be able to accomplish, and I don't want to do so.

Sometimes, there's just no way to hold back the river.

When you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it.

We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of world were written by the same hand.

In alchemy, it's called the Soul of the World. When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.

You must understand that love never keeps a man from pursuing his Personal Legend. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't true love....the love that speaks the Language of the World.

Wherever your heart is, that is where you'll find your treasure.

When you possess the great treasure, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed.

That's what Alchemist do, they show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us comes better too.

Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens twice will surely happen a third time - Arab Proverbs.

What good is money to you if you're going to die? It's not often that money can save someone's life.

It's true: life really is generous to those who pursue their Personal Legend.
