This is all about following your dreams...yes we have heard it a thousand times elsewhere but ...theres something in this book that makes "following your dreams" all too different...its an alarm clock that rings into your ears and vibrates through every nerve ...and awakens the sleeping soul within...! Believe me....i am NOT exaggerating !
Heres a humble Andalusian Shepherd boy named Santiago ....who embarked on a journey to Egypt equipped with nothing but the weight of his dreams. And if i start writing the outline of the story here...i will get carried away with it for its so interesting...so i am leaving it to you to google for the story or do get the book itself for its totally worth the buy !
But what i wish to share here is the impact this book brings to its readers....
Generally ...people have this thought...that ONLY a few extraordinary people have worthy dreams and are able to accomplish it ....but how wrong can we be....EVERY being that comes to life is packed not only with a heart, mind , soul...flesh and blood....but also with a DREAM....unfortunately.....it doesnt get nourished .
Parents are always concerned about the kind of food we get...the type of clothes we wear.... the education .... status.... and wealth .... but so few help a child nourish its dreams.... in fact most parents or the society on the whole unconsciously bury the dreams of every child with everything else they think is "important" .But tell me what could be worth more than following your dreams...!!
Yes i had my dreams too....and gladly managed to follow them despite the social obligations that pushed me away from it... and now after reading this book i am all the more determined to follow my dreams ....
If you were to ask an adult..." What is your dream?" Most of them might take a long time before they come up with an answer ...and thats not because they dont have one... but because we have been forced to forget our dreams... we have been pushed into a circle of choreographed life where we just do our part to fit in the whole picture... we do not attempt a solo .... we are afraid to stand out !!!
So my dear friends... reach out into your souls and search for the dreams ... its all there waiting for your call... make that call TODAY ! :)
