The book is about a shepherd who is directed by a gypsy fortune teller to a dream in life and the rest of the story is about how he goes on achieving his dream. The best part of the story are the notable sentences that I would like to put down here:
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it...
To realize one's destiny is a person's only obligation.
God only rarely reveals the future. When he does so, it is for one reason: it's a future that was written so as to be altered.
It's not what enters men's mouths that's evil, it's what comes out of their mouths that is.
The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon.
Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
...at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the worlds greatest lie.
...there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, its because that desire originated in the soul of the universe. Its your mission on earth.
We have to take advantage when luck is on our side, and do as much to help it as its doing to help us. Its called the principle of favorability. Or beginners luck.
This is an inspiring book, and worth reading... I recomend it to every one.No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in the history of the world. And normally he doesn't know it.
