Alchemist-Life

Paulo Coelho must have been through a great deal! He brings readers to the ship of achieving dreams in choppy and stormy Mariana Trench of life.

"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve:the fear of failure."

"Don't give in to your fears."

"That there's no need for iron to be the same as copper or copper the same as gold. Each performs its own exact function as a unique being..."

"Lead will play its role until the world has no further need for lead; and then lead will have to turn itself into gold."

Each of us has our very own Personal Legend. We are all called to carry out different tasks and we have different roles to play. Each of us can be successful, but most of us refuse to take the first step out of the comfort door. We remain in our cozy zone and thinking of living the safe and secure life.

There are pirates, tribal wars and dunes which you will encounter when you are at the desert. But to reach the Pyramid of Giza after those detours will be the BEST moment in your life. Same thing goes in our life.

In life, we might encounter detours and mountains, it is up to us whether or not to overcome it; whether or not to the first step despite the fact that we realise that we will slip and fall a little when conquering it.

The greatest holding back factor to achieve our dreams: the FEAR OF FAILURE. Dare to fail! But never repeat it. We ought not to dwell in our mistakes but to get out from it and never ever repeat it.

Get out there and achieve your personal legend!

P/S: The book is worth reading and keeping.
