The Alchemist

by Paulo Coelho

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

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

“In the long run, what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them than their own Personal Legends.”
