There’s a crazy story behind this, I had mailed professor Mario krenn at max plank months ago about meeting over a coffee and I suppose he got busy and forgot about it, didn’t seem very interested anymore.

So I decided to knock his door and tried to talk to him despite the security measures, he seemed startled when I said I want to meet but didn’t have an appointment. He said it doesn’t work like this. On my way home back, I would have walked for 5 mins, I realised I can follow back on the mail where he mentioned about the meeting. He replied, “we can meet later today, at 5.30 if that works for you” he was confused as he didn’t have meetings that day.

I walked back and decided to wait in the lobby, I started reading Alchemist, felt very unique emotion when encountering this para, I felt like I’m the shepherd and max plank was the shop and had to wait reading a book until professor is free. This is how I fall in love with this book and things like this kept happening throughout.

The shop was busy, and the man asked the shepherd to wait until the afternoon. So the boy sat on the steps of the shop and took a book from his bag.

They never have to make any decisions, he thought. Maybe that’s why they always stay close to me.

They trust me, and they’ve forgotten how to rely on their own instincts, because I lead them to nourishment.

We have to be prepared for change.

They come in search of new things, but when they leave they are basically the same people they were when they arrived.

The problem is that they don’t even realise that they’re walking a new road everyday. They don’t see that the fields are new and the seasons change. All they think about is food and water.

He always made new friends, and he didn’t need to spend all of his time with them.

Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about how or her own.

Everyone, when they’re young, knows what their personal legend is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and yearn for everything they would like to see happen in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them to realize their Personal Legend.

He never realised that people are capable, at anytime in their lives, of doing what they dream of.

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

People talk a lot about omens, thought the shepherd. But they really don’t know what they’re saying. Just as I hadn’t realised that for so many years I had been speaking a language without words to my sheep.

It was as if the world had fallen silent because the boy’s soul had.

We have to take advantage when luck is on our side, and do as much to help it as it’s doing to help us.

When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.

When he looked into her dark eyes, and saw that her lips were poised between a laugh and silence, he learned the most important part of the language that all the world spoke - the language that everyone on earth was capable of understanding in their heart. It was love.

The secret is here in the present!

”It’s not what enters men’s mouths that’s evil,” said the alchemist. “It’s what comes out of their mouths that is.

**There’s only one way to learn, It’s through action.”

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself.

Every search begins with beginners luck. And every search ends with victor’s being severely tested.

When you posses great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed.

Your eyes show the strength of your soul.

When something evolves, everything around that thing evolves as well.

“An Alchemist,” said the alchemist. “He understands the forces of nature.”

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

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

But this payment goes well beyond my generosity, the monk responded. Don’t say that again. Life might be listening, and give you less the next time.
