Review Of 'The Alchemist'

Douglas Everett once said "There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality, and then there are those who turn one into the other." A dreamer will always stay a dreamer unless they put their dreams in action, as Santiago did, in The Alchemist. This quote is quite evident throughout the novel and life, and many people don't even realize that they have a Personal Legend, which is their only obligation in life.

We are all dreamers, and we all desire to achieve our Personal Legend. Have you started the climb up your
