The Alchemist

 
    One day, you can be suffered from a mental depression because of your uncertain future which makes you struggle to find solutions. Even though you hear countless advice from the people who care about you, sometimes you just cannot find a way of encouraging yourself. I've realized that a good book is something that makes me look at the bright side of things. 
    There arc many self-encouraging books. I've read these kinds of books. The Alchemist, one of the bestselling books in the world, is definitely a helpful book for those who have dreams and Pursue them. 
    The alchemist is a story about a guy who a peaceful life as a shepherd herder, but later ventures out to explore his dreams and makes his legend. By describing how he went through all the difficult situations, this book tells this: don't give up your dreams in the face of a lot of obstacles on your journey. Not only does this book have wonderful sayings, but also it is written in short beautiful sentences.  
        I got this book from someone who had sent a short message: "Never forget your dreams no matter how hard the path or difficult the situation is." This man confessed that this book truly inspired him. I absolutely agree with him. This book addresses the importance of being positive.
