Risk-taking, creative and curious best describes me. Risk-taking fits me because, I take risks to make some decisions and to help others sometimes. Creating and figuring out is one of the place I am quite good at. Curiosity describes me well because, i always want to try new things. These are the traits that I think it fits me the best.
“And, when you want something, the entire universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” Santiago, reached his treasure in the place where he has started the journey. Santiago was able to complete his journey and reach his treasure because he was insightful, passionate and risk-taking.
The reader knows that Santiago was insightful just by looking at his choices. He saw through that the dream was not just a dream and blows it away. Also in the book it says “if I became a monster today, and decided to kill them, one by one, they would become aware only after most of the flock had been slaughtered, thought the boy.” This part of the book shows that he knows a lot about sheep and what he thinks about it. By being a shepherd, he has learned a lot and can see through that sheep has no idea and only want food and water. Also in the book it said, “But, most important, he was able everyday to live out his dreams”. This gives me an idea that he made decisions that helped him and what he desired so. Also in the book “the boy thought back to that conversation with his father, and felt happy;” this means that he doesn’t regret the decision he made to be a shepherd and is happy about it. Before he made the decision to follow his dream, he also said “it’s the possibility having a dream come true that makes life interesting, he thought”
The boy was passionate about his dream to find the treasure. Further, He knew he had and try everything before he could grasp the treasure in his hands. First, you can see that he was passionate when he went to find the old woman and ask her support about the dream and the treasure. When the woman said dreams are language of the god, but if he speaks in the soul of the world the old woman said only you can understand it. The boy took a chance and kept these words in his heart. He’s meaning of the treasure was never bent even if what happened. When he got robbed and beaten, with nothing left, he could have just left back to his homeland. “People learn, early in their lives, what is their reason for being.”
The trait ‘brave’ fits Santiago perfectly. When Santiago took a step to go to Egypt, this was not an easy decision to make. He followed his heart despite of his father and the god’s advice. “The boy felt the pang in his heart, thinking about the merchant’s daughter.” There was a dilemma between rather to stay or leave for his treasure. He made the decision to leave following his dream and destiny. He knew that he would have to give up on something to earn what you desire. With nothing, he started his journey to his destiny. Because he took the risk, he was guided his treasure.
The destiny was earned by Santiago’s heart by following these traits. Paulo Coelho sends a message in here that to achieve your destiny is earned by your heart not searched. As the quote said, he reached his destiny, just by his own heart and the universe helping him. Santiago’s insightful, passion, and risk-taking have led him to completing his Journey and reaching his treasure.
