Are you on the path that you know deep down you should be on?
4
Or do you feel like maybe you're not exactly living out your dream?
5
Well, stay right there.
6
Don't move.
7
Because we're about to discuss 12 key lessons from a beautiful
8
and enlightening story about pursuing your destiny your personal legend i'm talking about the alchemist by paulo cuelo
9
the alchemist is a story about a shepherd boy from spain named santiago
10
and his hero's journey as he leaves his herd of sheep
11
in spain to go on a quest for hidden treasure near the egyptian pyramids
12
he meets many colorful characters along the way from andalusia to tangier and all the way to the Egyptian pyramids.
13
He falls in love, experiences hardship and success,
14
and most importantly, he learns the power of discovering your own personal legend and pursuing it with all your heart.
15
The characters he meets and the experiences along the way teach him many valuable lessons about life.
16
Lessons we're about to go over.
17
Now, let's jump into the lessons from this book.
18
Lesson 1.
19
There is power in committing to your path.
20
Santiago learned three things from the old king of Salem, Melchizedek.
21
One is that, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.
22
Melchizedek refers to this process of pursuing your dream as choosing your own personal legend.
23
When you commit to your dream, your path, you will find ways to overcome the obstacles you encounter.
24
Nothing can stop you.
25
Melchizedek taught Santiago another lesson.
26
Lesson 2.
27
Don't let others choose your path for you.
28
He said, In the long run, what people think about shepherds and bakers becomes more important for them than their own personal legends.
29
Other people, regardless of their successes or lack thereof, cannot tell you what your dream is.
30
Only you can discover your personal legend.
31
Don't let the cynics and the critics dissuade you from achieving your dreams.
32
Finally, Melchizedek told Santiago, Don't believe the world's greatest lie.
33
The world's greatest lie is this, that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us,
34
and our lives become controlled by fate.
35
Own your destiny.
36
The only person who can choose your dream is you.
37
Step onto the path to your personal legend and start walking.
38
On to the next lesson, which Santiago learned in Morocco.
39
Lesson 4.
40
When life knocks you down, stay positive and keep moving forward.
41
When Santiago was in Tangier, he met a young man who ultimately robbed him of all his money.
42
Santiago was then faced with a choice.
43
Do I view myself as a poor victim in a strange place?
44
Or am I an adventurer? seeking treasure in a new place.
45
Two completely different ways of viewing the exact same situation.
46
Thankfully, our hero chose the latter.
47
You are sure to face unforeseeable obstacles that you can't plan for.
48
At this point, you'll have a choice.
49
You can view each obstacle as an opportunity to learn or as a reason to give up.
50
Look for the lesson in the pain.
51
It's there, but you must be willing to see it.
52
Our hero learned another lesson while he was in Tangier.
53
Don't let yourself be fooled.
54
Santiago reflected upon his gullibility and the ease with which he was robbed and thought to himself, I'm like everyone else.
55
I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does.
56
Our biases are powerful and we are constantly searching for affirmation of what we believe.
57
Be flexible and allow yourself room to grow, to see what's really in front of you.
58
Moving on to lesson six, be bold and make decisions.
59
In reflecting on some of his recent good fortune and how the universe had guided him through seemingly random situations,
60
Santiago thought, making a decision was only the beginning of things.
61
When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current
62
that will carry him to places he has never dreamed of when he first made the decision.
63
It's a beautiful thing.
64
Decisions lead to action.
65
Action leads to experience.
66
And experience leads to learning.
67
A life of indecision is a boring life.
68
Make decisions, try things, and learn.
69
Eventually, one of those decisions will lead to a big success.
70
On to Lesson 7.
71
Embrace the now.
72
While Santiago was traveling with a caravan across the desert, he got to know a camel driver who told him,
73
I don't live in either my past or my future.
74
I'm interested only in the present.
75
If you can concentrate always on the present, you'll be a happy man.
76
We all know this on some level.
77
Yesterday is gone, and we are not guaranteed tomorrow.
78
We need to focus on the moment.
79
Be present, not only for yourself, but for the ones you love.
80
This is the key to happiness.
81
Lesson 8.
82
Don't focus on the result.
83
Focus on the process.
84
Santiago learned many things from The Alchemist.
85
The first is this.
86
People don't find success when they seek only treasure, when they seek only the result.
87
Success comes from living your personal legend.
88
The journey and what's learned along the way, the process is often much more valuable than the treasure you find at the end of the journey.
89
Another lesson from the alchemist is this.
90
Don't let the fear of failure keep you from pursuing your dreams.
91
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself,
92
and that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams,
93
because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
94
The alchemist also told him, There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve.
95
The fear of failure.
96
Big rewards often require big risks.
97
Every moment you spend pursuing your dream brings you a few steps closer to realizing that dream.
98
Take risks, learn from your failures, and create the life you want.
99
Finally, Santiago learned this beautiful lesson from the old alchemist.
100
Lesson 10.
101
When you make yourself better, you make the world better.
102
He told Santiago, When something evolves, everything around that thing evolves as well.
103
When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
104
Improve yourself, and you improve the world around you.
105
Everything and everyone around you will benefit from your efforts.
106
Finally, we learned two more lessons from Santiago.
107
Lesson 11.
108
Allow yourself to dream.
109
Santiago thought to himself, it's the possibility of having dreams come true which makes life interesting.
110
Don't limit yourself according to what might seem impossible to you today.
111
From car engines to Apple computers, we would all be living in a much different world if some people didn't dream.
112
Keep dreaming and stay passionate.
113
The final lesson is this.
114
Practice gratitude.
115
Santiago thought to himself, when each day is the same as the next,
116
it's because people fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises.
117
Life can get repetitive.
118
However, there's beauty in every moment.
119
Learning to recognize the beauty around you can give you the boost of positivity and inspiration you need to achieve your dreams.
120
Well, e -learners, that's it for The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
121
I hope you enjoyed the lessons from this beautiful and inspiring book, and I'll see you next time on Mentally Fit.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
