What have you learned from the book The Alchemist?

I found the book really inspiring! The journey of a young boy to his destiny and how he was able to reach it is something very touching and wonderful. I like that line, too:"When you want something all the universe conspire in helping you to achieve it." It simply means that if you have that burning desire in your heart, follow it no matter what, for God has shaped your destiny already. No matter which road you take, it will lead you back to your destiny. The Alchemist is really a beautiful, beautiful story! Almost all of the Paulo's Coelho's books are really inspiring and you can get alot of life lessons from it that will surely help you. I've also read his other book,"Veronika Decides to Die". It was also brilliant!(",)

I loved this book, it was so inspiring that I could not put it down. This book showed me that life teaches you the lessons that you need to learn, especially if you are open to following your heart, and that if you have a dream and you pursue it you will find it and the true treasure in your life. I love all Paulo Coelho's books, he is a wonderful and truly inspiring author.

Pretty much what everybody has already said. Chase your dream. Don't live with a boring job, if that's not what you want to do. Achieve your goals, and live happily.
