This book says that if one follows one’s heart and strives to makes his dreams come true then ‘ the whole universe will conspire to make it happen’. Man is a slave of habit. Thinking about a problem from different viewpoints brings a whole new gamut of solutions, giving the problem an entirely new dimension. To put it another way, every problem is an opportunity in disguise. When one is faced with such an opportunity, he should capitalize on it and hence make the most of it. This is another thought that is endorsed by the book. The gist of the story is this. A shepherd Santiago sets out to make his dream a reality. He faces many difficulties on the way, loses all his money and is forced to work in a shop, which is making loss. He however, because of his fresh, new ideas gives the shop a new look and the shopkeeper a new life. He then goes on to cross the desert, where he meets an alchemist, who leads him to the pyramids. The books takes us through the difficulties during the course of his journey and how he overcomes them all by listening to his heart and to the language of the world, thus making the book an interesting read!

THe motifs & themes are well placed
Dream. Believe. Survive.
Introduction Every person has his own dream. One may dream of being a president of the Philippines, others dream of being as rich as Bill Gates, while some dream of being the next big thing in the television. Yet one must realize that not all dreams become reality. Oftentimes, our dreams turn to failure. In spite of that, the key to success is the continuous belief in our capacity to achieve our dream. Despite many obstacles faced, one must still hold on to his dreams. For only God knows what destiny lies. God has entitled each one of us a purpose in this gigantic planet called Earth. Only through believing and following our dreams may we reach success and survive.
