總會有那一本會改變你的一生的一本書
總會有那一本會改變你的一生的一本書
會無意碰上它並不是巧合, 就好像是一震力量要我完成看這本書的使命. 書中說的的種種現象, 要從心中體會自己要走的路, 要懂得認清自己的PERSONAL LEGEND, 就好像正在對應我當時的心情.
一顆心不能永遠保持最快的速度, 也不能永遠保持最慢的狀態否則2者都會死去. -- 這是我對我媽說的話.
每個人都會走到自己的人生瓶頸, 人生當然不是只有一個瓶頸, 每個瓶頸的存在都是為了要幫助自己走向更自由, 更深入自己的靈魂的了解自己. 但是每當突破一次又一次的人生瓶頸就會發現自己更加勇敢, 更加強壯. 而每個人的人生都不一樣, 看過的不可能一樣, 每個人走過的路更不可能一樣, 也沒有仍何人有權利主導你的人生, 但是只要有一顆專注的心, 永遠不會放棄的心靈, 全世界都會為了你而導向幫助你完成你的PL. 仍何人都沒有權力批評仍何人因為你的PL 一定不是我的PL, 但是我可以是陪伴你走向你的PL的人, 但是我不能入侵你的PL 否則我就會犯了天大的罪惡.
如果人生是一串平平的道路, 下雨有人為你撐傘, 風吹有人幫你穿衣, 那這個人肯定不知道被風吹冷的感覺, 被雨潾濕的狼狽, 當然也不會懂風吹過的自由快感, 被雨水洗禮的痛快. 不過, 像對的, 也許它更懂得溫暖的滿足, 無優無慮的擁抱呢? 或許人生就是一個天平.
The Alchemist
By Paulo Coelho
Dreams, symbols, signs, and adventure follow the reader like echoes of ancient wise voices in "The Alchemist", a novel that combines an atmosphere of Medieval mysticism with the song of the desert. With this symbolic masterpiece Coelho states that we should not avoid our destinies, and urges people to follow their dreams, because to find our "Personal Myth" and our mission on Earth is the way to find "God", meaning happiness, fulfillment, and the ultimate purpose of creation.
The novel tells the tale of Santiago, a boy who has a dream and the courage to follow it. After listening to "the signs" the boy ventures in his personal, Ulysses-like journey of exploration and self-discovery, symbolically searching for a hidden treasure located near the pyramids in Egypt. When he decides to go, his father's only advice is "Travel the world until you see that our castle is the greatest, and our women the most beautiful". In his journey, Santiago sees the greatness of the world, and meets all kinds of exciting people like kings and alchemists. However, by the end of the novel, he discovers that "treasure lies where your heart belongs", and that the treasure was the journey itself, the discoveries he made, and the wisdom he acquired.
"The Alchemist", is an exciting novel that bursts with optimism; it is the kind of novel that tells you that everything is possible as long as you really want it to happen. That may sound like an oversimplified version of new-age philosophy and mysticism, but as Coelho states "simple things are the most valuable and only wise people appreciate them". As the alchemist himself says, when he appears to Santiago in the form of an old king "when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true".
This is the core of the novel's philosophy and a motif that echoes behind Coelho's writing all through "The Alchemist". And isn't it true that the whole of humankind desperately wants to believe the old king when he says that the greatest lie in the world is that at some point we lose the ability to control our lives, and become the pawns of fate. Perhaps this is the secret of Coelho's success: that he tells people what they want to hear, or rather that he tells them that what they wish for but never thought possible could even be probable.

Was it because they never knew?
I had a full day. And I splurged quite a bit of cash.
Rainy afternoon and Lunch with a Malaysian friend whom i recently knew and met while working @ a roadshow. She's been in Taipei for almost a year and she's was posted over from Msia Unilever. Unilever, large company with heaps of large brands and she's an expat from Msia, Nice. Y-June brought two other friends, A from her company, finance director, and Kim, Director for Millford Brown. And I brought along another friend of mine I knew from warcraft online.
Splurged cash on books @ Page one and a compact and gloss @ Mitsushiko. Late dinner with friends later that day, blissful mates who had spent their lives with one another eversince primary school, the kind of bond you see in mates who have never knew what it is to be without one another. I never bothered to nurture these kinda bonds in my primary school days. What if it doesn't work out?
Y-June , A and Kim were all very down to earth, too down to earth perhaps that I wonder what is it exactly am I looking for in life? What is it that makes a person?
Can I have my cake and eat it? I have always adored attention but what exactly is the kind of eyes I wish be on me? I see people come and go, and i see people I never wish to become and I think, what choices have these people made? Why have they allowed themselves to become the way they are? Was it because they never knew? And I see people who glows, What choices have they made?
I am frightened now, my life is shaping up and time is whirling faster now. People who have beautiful lives, a happy wholesome family and happy wholesome memories. I am afraid I am no longer able to make mistakes. People judge you for many things, and I am afraid i am not ready to take that challenge yet.
