I don't agree with that at all. The author is converting an attitude (which is highly subjective) into a blanket statement, the attitude being optimistic.

You should get yourself an LJ id, BTW - it's free, and I've seen you leave comments in a few of my friends' LJs.

Well, the Alchemist is one kind of a "self help" book. I usually don't like such books, but this one is an exception.

What I've been believing is "If you really want something, then the universe conspires Against you" ;)

twist

[pramodbiligiri]

"if the universe gets something for you, you should conspire to really want it" (teehee...sorry, couldn't resist! )
