People say this book is worth reading. Many celebrities including Bill Clinton read it. But... I hardly remember what it's all about except for some sentences in the introduction pages.
You're impressed when you read a book and come across a sentence you think you feel a special bond with the author. I had that kind of experience in this book.
getting up at dawn and seeing the sun rise while the rest of the world still slept
It's like the whole world is yours.
We who fight for our dream suffer far more when it doesn't work out, because we cannot fall back on the old excuse: "Oh, well, I didn't really want it anyway." We do want it and know that we have staked everything on it and that the path of the personal calling is no easier than any other path, except that our whole heart is in this journey.
The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
Why is it so important to live our personal calling if we are only going to suffer more than other people?
Otherwise, you don't feel like you are alive. You're one of those people who want to live a meaningful life.
Basically it's a fable story. A shepherd boy goes on a journey to pursue treasure in Egypt. He was robbed and lost all the money. He decides not to return home even after he earns enough money, and goes after the treasure again . He learns lessons along the way and finds the treasure in the place where he least expected.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
