When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”

Books have always been my companions and have inspired me to tap deeper into my own thoughts and feelings. However, this timeless line from The Alchemist captures why this particular book remains my all-time favourite and why I strongly recommend it to my students.

Santiago’s encounters—especially with the curious Englishman obsessively studying alchemy—remind us that knowledge alone is not enough; we must also dare to act.

I still remember clearly sharing this lesson with a former student who felt unsure about pursuing his passions, and the story helped him find clarity.

Paulo Coelho’s narrative teaches us to trust our dreams, embrace challenges, and listen to the wisdom of our hearts.

My dear students, as you navigate your own paths, may this book inspire you to chase your personal legend with courage, curiosity, and unwavering hope. Pick it up and read it whenever you are at a crossroad. It will guide you in carving the path to your dream life.
