Classical my life

These last few days has been one of the most hectic days I’ve ever had. Every single day I would be outside the house from 9am in the morning and won’t be back till at 6/7pm. This is the first time I have truly experience a crazy uni days, my previous semesters are nothing compare to this fourth semester. Luckily for me, I have the perfect medicine for my stressful soul. Classical Music.

So here’s a little something that I hope do the same miracle as it did with me!

That music reflects what I feel that day. And here’s a little something for you to read while listening to the music, ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho.

The Alchemist

The quote ‘Never judge a book by its cover’ is true, whether you apply it metaphorically or literally. When ‘The Alchemist’ came out a few years ago, I ignored my heart and judge it without actually reading it and how wrong was I. Finally I followed my old conscience and bought it.

The alchemist turns out to be a fantastic book. Although it is a fiction novel, for me it is quite real. Paulo Coelho has done a marvelous job in metaphorically write about our life and ‘destiny’ into this particular book.

The story recounted how in the young shepherd travel he encounter so many issues and walls, similar to our own lives how we too often blocked by things that tries to deterred us from our dreams and future. When we live, it is not a matter whether you have the resources to achieve your future, rather whether you have the heart and will to do so. Consequently, I link this story with whether we have an end or a beginning, this book tells us that we are part of a greater thing. That we are all link to one another, and therefore sort of based on what I said previously that we too have no beginning nor ending as we are a never ending circle of life.

So that’s what I did when I feel down and stressed, Hope it will help you too 🙂

Ps: Paulo Coelho is an amazing writer, go check out his blog! Better yet Go read the Alchemist as it will change your view on life.
