“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked, when they had made camp that day.”Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.”
“But my heart is agitated,” the boy said. “It has its dreams, it gets emotional, and it’s become passionate over a woman of the desert. It asks things of me and it keeps me from sleeping many nights, when I’m thinking about her.”
“Well, that’s good. Your heart is alive. Keep listening to what it has to say.”
Taken from the Alchemist written by Paulo Coelho

Have u read the Zahir from Coelho? I love the process, but hate the end of the story.
Hardly find some time to read novels, but work materials

Nope, haven’t read the Zahir yet. Too bad. How about reading them in the weekends? You’re not attached to work materials in that time of the week, aren’t you?
Miss you too Juk

Indeed Nil. The book was magical. And I think it is agreed by millions of people who have read the book. Gw belum baca semua bukunya, baru beberapa, tapi yang ttg Wisdom –> the Alchemist menurut gw emang yang paling spot on. This is a must read.
Hehe kalo bagi gw yang paling kena malah yang pas shepherd-nya udah ketemu Alchemist, yang membuat dia memutuskan untuk meninggalkan Oasis demi pergi ke Pyramid. Makanya gw quote
