Rating:★★★★★
Category:Books
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Author:PauLo CueLho
It was the last day in my first office. The first place I have ever worked in. Too many memories but more sorrow I felt that day. The sadness because of what i had to leave behind, the happiness because it will be new days to come.
That day, my partner gave me this book. Never knew what it was about. But when I finally read it, it was about someone who pursuit their dreams. Somehow it's about me, leaving in order to pursuit my Personal Legend.
"One has their own Personal Legend, which one may not know what it is. All they have to do is follow the omens sent by God."
I never knew where will I be, what will I be. All I know is that I need to get out of that office. I think I have followed my omens...
"Where your heart is, it is where your treasure is..."
The boy knows that there is a treasure waiting for him to find. Though he never know whether it is true or false, he sticks to what he believed in.
Maybe that's exactly what I should do. To have a goal and stick to it. I never had a goal before. I just follow my omens and my heart and see where it will bring. But from now on, I do have a goal. I have my own treasure, so I can start the journey to find my Personal Legend.
'cos... "Everytime you want something, the universe conspire to get it to you"

Thank you, Mel. It is true that every once awhile in a decade, there is one book that'll change one's life. I think this book is...
I hope it'll change mine, but it surely gives me the courage to.
