Post 2 Santiago

A fictional character I feel that it's a mentor to me is Santiago from The Alchemist. I've chosen Santiago because he never ever give up his personal legend A personal legend is something you want to accomplish on earth, it's like something you were born to do . Even though he knew that going out on the dessert while the tribal war was still going on will be a very dangerous risk,  but still he went out for his treasure. He sacrifice all of his sheep, left the place he called home and also the girl he thought he was in live with. He sacrifice everything he had to accomplish his personal legend. Met the king, he  left his country, he got robbed, met a crystal merchant,  learned about omens, met an Englishman who was at the search of an alchemist, met a caravan man, met Fatima the love of his life met the alchemist, learned the universal language and also speak with his heart, all of these things there's many more, but I'm going to stop here. He learned all these things just by pursuing his personal legend. He taught  me that if you really want to accomplish something all the universe conspire to help. And also that to never ever give up no matter what. If you fall once doesn't mean that you should stop trying. Remember the secret of life( fall 7 times and get up 8 times). I definitely can apply these in my life, because I also have a personal legend, everybody does. Ever since I read this book I felt like i can do anything or become anything.
