Before I came to Dubai I've read several books of Paolo Coelho. At first I thought it was just an "okay book" because I never knew him. I know of "The Alchemist" but I didn't know he was the author of the book but haven't read that book before either. All of it changed when I read "The Alchemist" and then I started buying more and more of his books. And now I can say I'm one of those avid fan of Mr Coelho because not only that his books are inspirational but also it touched my inner soul. The books he had published changed my way of thinking about life. It made me broaden my perception of life and made me realize that life is as vast as the universe. That is why today I am setting all that I want to do in life. Which one to prioritize and which one to discard are the things that are on my lists right now.

Honestly, I am not happy just like the characters in Coelho's story. I also search for answers what makes me truly a happy person. I know my family who is always there to support me is the greatest happiness that I have but as to me as a single person is still searching for the answer about my role in this world. When I was a kid I dreamed of becoming a doctor or a lawyer. I never dreamed of becoming an accountant which is now my profession right now. It was not even my decision because my father decided that on me. Although I don't have any anger with him as to that matter because I came to love my current profession already. Now the question is will I be able to be part of the circle of life that is truly worth living for? Will I be able to fulfull my destiny in the right path chosen for me? Or will I just live and die without knowing my purpose of living?

I hope as I grow older I will be able to acquire enough wisdom to understand better about life which in return will make me find the happiness that I am searching for. May Paolo Coelho publish more books so he can help others find the true meaning of happiness. Praise to Paulo Coelho's novels because he always inpires me to do better and continue searching for the happiness that I am looking for. His books that I have read will always be forever in my heart and in my mind.
