The Alchemist

An unexpected surprise had arrived to me from Korea yesterday. I have a friend in Korea who might not be taller than I, but there is something that tells me that she is in reach of dreams...

"... so I can change those things that I don't want to happen"

"But then they wouldn't be a part of your future," the seer said.

"Well, maybe I just want to prepare myself for what's coming."

"If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise," said the seer. "If bad things are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur."

"I want to know about the future because I'm a man," the camel driver had said to the seer. "And men always live their lives based on the future."

--The Alchemist

I will finish this book tonight.
