I just finished reading ‘The Alchemist’.Written by Paulo Coelho,its a tale worth inspiring zillions of hearts.Its the story of Santiago,a Spanish Shepherd who goes on in the pursuit of his dreams.The story tells you how Santiago travels all the way from his homeland in Spain, across the barren deserts of Egypt and ultimately towards his destination.In this course of travel,he comes across many things which teach him a different fact about life.In this course ,he gets robbed off his life’s earnings, learns many new trades,falls in love twice,gets beaten up etc.He is often distracted from his aim.But then, some way or the other,the almighty ensures that he attains his dream in the end.

An Alchemist by definition means a person capable of turning lead into gold.This is possible only because such individuals can communicate with the ‘Soul Of The World’.And the transformation of one living form into another is possible only because of the power of ‘Love’.

Some very interesting quotes from the book:

“That everyone loses control over his destiny at one point of time in his life,and that fate takes over…..is the world’s biggest lie…”

“Whenever you decide to attain your destiny….the whole world conspires to aid you in doing so…..”
