I first bought this book way back when i am still in high school, it intrigues me why people like it. I like reading books and comics before so why not try it. But maybe because im not into those kind of theme i dont like it and did not finish the book.
Several years later, today, i re-read the book. At first it was a challenge to me. Because im still not into those genre type of books, im more on the chick lit or romance kind of type. So, is kind of difficult to understand on the authors point of view . But moving along the story i loosen up a bit and tried to understand it little by little and really like the story.
On my understanding its about people finding what they are dreaming of and finding to reach for their dreams. Not all of them can achieve that dream because of fear of failures, so we just forget about it and go on our lives like its not a big of a deal. But once we strive for it, we can find the total happiness within us.
Its a good book to those people who wants to finds themselves. To wake them up to realize that fear of failure is a normal thing to experience in finding your happiness or dreams. Just like Santiago who almost forget his personal legend but the omens keep telling him to find it and continue his journey. He experience many failures, obstacle and love, but upon continuing the journey he found the pyramids, treasure, fatima and happiness. And it makes him a better or whole man.
