Excellent article 4: Thoughts on Reading the Fantasy Journey of the Shepherd Boy

? This book is mainly about a boy named Santiago. Because he had the same dream twice, he embarked on a wonderful journey to find treasure. On the way to find the treasure, he met many people, such as a gypsy woman who knows divination, an old king, the owner of a crystal shop, an Englishman who went to the desert, his beloved girl Fatima, an alchemist, a group of gangsters and so on. The second time I saw it, I had a brand-new feeling that everyone the boy met on the road might be himself.

? I have to say that this book is an out-and-out chicken soup. The best function of chicken soup is to give you a hard slap and wake you up when you are most confused and helpless. The narrative of this novel is very simple, and from the author's writing style, it has a strong religious creed. He has been saying something that everyone knows, but not everyone can fully understand. Maybe some people don't think much of this book. Not surprisingly. People have different moods, different experiences and different understandings or opinions. If you are confused, I suggest you have a look.

? The ending of the book has a feeling of returning to the original point, but the meaning of the boy's journey is often more important than returning to the original point. He not only got the treasure of dreams, but also met all kinds of people and things during his journey, met his true love and learned about the soul of the world and the origin of the world. He understands many superficial and obscure truths. A boy can be anyone he meets on the road, but he finally becomes himself. All accidents are inevitable. The boy's choice and journey have created his unique life. Looking back now, a story told by the old king before the boy left was actually a warning and summary of the boy's journey. One of them is:

? The secret of happiness lies in seeing all the miracles in the world and never forgetting the oil drops on the spoon.

? The secret of happiness is that when you visit all the beautiful scenery in the world, don't forget two drops of oil in your hand.

? Now I think this sentence can be interpreted as: don't forget your active thinking, so as to achieve your ultimate goal. The following is an excerpt for everyone, and also for you and me who are confused: "I am the king of Salem." The old man said. "Why does a king talk to a shepherd?" The boy asked with great respect and shyness. "There are several reasons. However, the most important thing first is that you have been able to complete your mission. " The boy doesn't know what fate is.

? "Fate is what you have been looking forward to doing. Once you step into youth, you will know what your destiny is. At this stage of life, everything is so clear that nothing is impossible. People dare to dream and expect to accomplish everything they like in life. However, as time went on, a mysterious force began to try to prove that it was impossible to achieve destiny. "

? What the old man said means nothing to the boy. But he really wants to know what "mysterious power" is. If you tell this to the girl, she will be stunned.

? "seemingly harmful forces are actually teaching you how to complete your destiny and cultivate your spirit and perseverance. Because on this planet, there is a great truth: no matter who you are, no matter what you do, when you desire something, you will eventually get it, because this desire comes from the soul of the universe. That is your mission in the world. "

? "Even travel around the world? Also, does it count to marry the daughter of a textile merchant? "

? "Looking for treasure. The soul of the universe is nourished by human happiness, or by human misfortune, envy and jealousy. It is the bounden duty of human beings to complete their own destiny. Everything is the same thing. When you want something, the whole universe will work together with Qi Xin to help you realize it. "
