The Alchemist

It had been so long that I din finish reading an English book, I mean soft one, not those Times, Newsweeks, Busineesweek etc. Sometimes it is good to read some soft book, I will helps, for us to rethink about our lives, dreams.

"The Alchemist", a short story book, which is telling about a story of a boy chasing his dream, a treasure in pyramid. Through simple story, the author brought out some obstacles, which everyone is facing in their live.

While reading this book, I start to think about a simple question. What is your dream? A simple question, but I don't think people can easily answer it. I myself cannot answered it, even to myself. Are we getting more stupid when we grew? Why a simple question, which can easily answered by a kid, and can't we? Live become robotic, after you start work. Everyday start with a constant rhythm, seeing everyone going toward one direction, and so on the evening. Time to start thinking.

Here it is. The Alchemist. Thanks Lion for giving me the space for uploading the book.
