Paulo Coelho

I'm addicted to this guy: Paulo Coelho

I've read most of his books and yes....I hate to admit this but I cried each time I read his books. Dang...so much for being a wuss...too emotional seh!
But seriously, he writes good stuff. I read "A thousand splendid suns" by khaleed hosseini.....I cried EVEN MORE!

I'm one who couldn't bear seeing people's suffering especially, the weak and the disabled. Anything that concern children,women,elderly people...I'll cry...
The power of words...

Paulo Coelho writes good stuff and what better way to start things off other than reading his book, the ever famous book, "The Alchemist." There are certai complexity in certain chapters but if you read on, you'll be amazed! His short stories are the best especially his short story book entitled "Like the flowing river", truly inspiring!

“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.”

"I think that perhaps we always fall in love the very first time we see the man of our dreams, even though, at the time, reason may be telling otherwise, and we may fight against that instinct, hoping against hope that we won't win, until there comes a point when we allow ourselves to be vanquished by our feelings...”

”Love is looking at the same mountains from different angles.”

“Every day, God gives us, as well as the sun, a moment when it is possible to change anything that is causing us unhappiness. The magic moment is the moment when a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ can change our whole existence. Every day, we try to pretend that we do not see that moment, this it does not exit, that today is the same as yesterday and that tomorrow will be the same too. However, anyone who pays close attention to his day will discover the magic moment. It might be hidden in the instant that we put the key in the door in the morning, in the moment of silence after supper, in the thousand and one things that appear to us to be the same. This moment exists, a moment in which all the strenght of the stars flows through us and allows us to perform miracles.” Coelho By the River Piedra I sat down and wept

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.

There is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it's because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. It's your mission on earth.

"...for her, every day was the same, and when each day is the same as the next, it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises."

Every man has a feminine side, and every woman a masculine side. It is important to use discipline with intuition, and to use intuition with objectivity.
