Default The Alchemist-Paulo Coelho
How many of you guys have read The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho? How did you find it, and what is the best thing/lesson coming out from this novel?

I would say every struggling youngster should read it once, it is full of motivation that we generally seek in our life to continue our journeys.

I love the 'desert journey' part in it, and it is so mystic and beautifully narrated that one feels one self in the caravan too.

Paulo Coelho's masterpiece that can really change lives! After all, it's 'The Alchemist'

i have read it and found a it true a bit wrong....
its really motivating. and what i have learnt and found very right is that "Every search begins with the beginner's luck and Every search ends with the victor's being severely tested". you r right that every struggling person can read it at least once.......
stay bleesed

That is my favourite part too.. When no one believes he actually has the elixir of life and he laughs along with them.. Read it long time back but remember this part and another one in which the youth was asked to go round a building while holding a lemon in a spoon in his mouth.. Truly riveting!

One of the best books i have ever read. The Alchemist totally changed my vision about life , it gives u hope , it gives u courage. I learned a lesson from this book and it was " just struggle , struggle and struggle to make ur dreams true, to live ur dreams in reality, never give up and have faith in urself."
