MANAGEMENT THOUGHTS

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to

achieve: the fear of failure

No project is completed until its objective has been

achieved.

If you improve on the present, what comes later will also

be better

MANAGEMENT THOUGHTS

You never lose control

When a person really desires something, all the

universe conspires to help that person to realize

his dream.

Dreams get the juices flowing

CRITICS

Characters are not referenced with their name enough.

Santiago the lead character is referenced once with his

name in the beginning. Rest of the book says boy and he.

This sometimes creates confusion who is say this.

Some moments of climax are written very short and not

detailed enough. War of Oasis with Tribal is not talked

enough. After the event of boy reaching pyramids story

jumps to Spain in epilogue so fast.

CRITICS

One of the chief complaints lodged against the

book is that the story, praised for its fable-like

simplicity, actually is a fable–-a retelling of “The

Ruined Man who Became Rich Again through a

Dream”

This book is not targeted towards any age. All the

age groups will like this.

Who believe and practice spirituality

Who wants to understand their own heart and

follow their dreams
