Re: THE ALCHEMIST: BY PAULO COELHO
When Siantiago has a meeting and a convo with Melchizedek; there have been some really wonderful phrases that occur. I loved that story Melchizedek narrated to him, where a shopkeeper sends his son to the wisest man to learn about the secret of happiness. To wisest man, "The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world, and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon". This is something that makes Saintiago think A shepherd may like ot travel, but he should never forget about his sheep.
And i feel it certainly rings a bell....
