Comments on Adventure in the Woods 1200 words

I began to understand that this book was written by a friend, and it was her description that aroused my desire to read. I remember that afternoon, sitting on a comfortable sofa, accompanied by a cool breeze, I started my reading journey. After turning a few pages in my hand, I was attracted by the concise language in the book and moved by the philosophical stories in the book.

The Fantasy Journey of the Shepherd Boy tells a simple story: Santiago, a Spanish shepherd boy, dreamed twice in a row that he had found a batch of treasures under the Egyptian pyramids. So he started this dream treasure hunt. On the way, he met an old gypsy woman, an old king in Salem, an Arab crystal shop owner, a liar, a caravan and an oasis, his love and a mysterious alchemist. After many twists and turns, he finally found his buried treasure. Curiously, the treasure is under the buttonwood tree where he often stops when herding sheep in his hometown. Santiago finally got wealth, but at the same time he gained valuable experience, which is much greater than the value of the treasure itself.

As I said at the beginning, this is a simple story. However, it is such a simple story that tells us some thought-provoking truths through extremely simple words. Everyone has his own dreams, but just having dreams is not enough. In the face of dreams, should we make bold choices, not be afraid of difficulties, and stick to the pursuit like San Diego? Or do you want to be as reluctant to give up your original, accustomed life as a popcorn vendor? Or like the owner of the crystal shop, just regard the dream as a beautiful vision, dare not realize it, and have no motivation to continue living? Or like the robbers under the pyramid, they don't believe in their dreams at all.

University. I found that many times, I almost forgot whether I still have a dream or not, and almost forgot the cause and effect of being busy at every moment. Without time, it is difficult to calm down and think about life now. What is our dream? What is our pursuit? What's our goal? I always feel busy, but there seems to be only emptiness behind the busy. The ideal of drilling without a goal is doomed to failure, the direction is wrong, and it is easy to achieve. Maybe many people, like me, are afraid to talk about ideals. Confusion lies not only in not knowing what one's ideal is, but also in not knowing how to realize it. Nowadays, the society has become complicated, the values are so diverse, and the secular routines are even more red tape.

I think this book is very good, because if you want to harvest, you have to pay. In order to find the treasure, Santiago encountered many difficulties in the search at all costs. But he was not depressed, discouraged, and gave up on himself, and finally understood the meaning of the treasure and reached the other side of success. And isn't this our life? Why some people in the world succeed and some people fail depends on their choices. If they choose despair, resignation and self-destruction, then they will always only taste the taste of failure. On the contrary, only those who choose hard work and perseverance can taste the sweetness of success. In fact, all this is very simple, and success comes from the firm will in the heart. Even if some people feel small, as long as they persist, they will generate great strength and beautiful light in your heart, open the treasure in your heart and illuminate the road to success.

This book may be simple, or it may lack beautiful and grandiose words. But after reading it, it seems that I can gain a new strength, a new idea, a new height, shake off those fetters and confusions, and leave too many burdens. Destiny, belief, ideal and practice are the secrets explored by Santiago. Living in a changeable and complicated society, many times our inner voices are covered by the noise of reality, and the light of dreams is covered by the dim sky. Or maybe, we hear our inner voice, but all kinds of burdens make us have no courage to believe it and accept it. At this time, you might as well stop and settle down quietly. Dig up the ideals you ignore. Rest is to walk longer. Don't be stingy with that short time. This is a simple and thought-provoking truth that this book wants to tell us.

Hope to adopt. Thank you.
