Dreams are an integral part of life.
Our aspirations translate to the dreams we have.
And yet it takes us ages to understand what we really want to achieve and many times end up blaming these very dreams as being out of our reach or blaming others for our failures.
Is it wrong to dream?
The answer is no.
Ask Santiago, the shepherd protagonist in Paulo Coelho’s ’’The Alchemist’’.
This book is one of the books that comes once in a life time and with profound yet easily comprehendible values and thoughts it touches the very core of your heart and changes the way you look at life in general.
’’The Alchemist’’ talks about Santiago, a young shepherd who dares to follow his dreams and goes to lands he has never been to before.
He undergoes perils and learns the secrets of life by observing the elements of nature.
Yet at the end of it all, he does have the courage to follow his vision and comes home learned , wiser and unscratched.
And then he realises that what his dream wanted to achieve was always with him, in his own courtyard.
This is usually the predicament with all of us. We are but mere mortals who live in a shell.
Yet we play to the tunes of the worldly matters and suppress what our dreams want to foretell.
The book highlights our inner feelings and helps to realise the Real You!
A high five for a book that ’’can certainly inspire generations’’.
