The Pursuit of Your Personal Legend ThemeTracker

The most striking theme of "alchemist" is that everyone has a "personal legend" - ideal fate or fate. Everyone can choose whether to pursue this legend. At the beginning of the novel, the hero Santiago began looking for his treasure through encounter with Melchizedek (a wise old man) - his personal legend. Melchizedek is a character of the Bible, but in the context of the novel he said that it appeared at a critical moment where a person could give up his or her personal saga. Melchizedek explained to Santiago that everyone knows his personal story when young, but forgotten the legend because it was blocked by fear, anxiety, and other secular concerns It was. Even good things like love may interfere with the pursuit of personal legends, like believing in the desert oasis when you are with Fatima forever.

In this novel, the choice to pursue the legend is completely dependent on the individual, but when the legend is realized the result is strongly suggesting that the result is always better. However, as San Diego noticed near the end of the novel, this life improvement arises not from the simple achievement of the legend, but from the purpose and participation of the pursuit of legends to the daily lives of people. San Diego has approached his treasure from the beginning, but traveling to his treasure has a long time and distance. But without a journey, San Diego will not learn everything what he did, meet the person I met, or fall in love. San Diego also noticed that dying while pursuing a personal legend can reduce the fear of death. The journey is not easy, but there is a "right" route in the legend of a person. The book believes that choosing to pursue a personal legend is the most important choice for everyone.

As mentioned by "Alchemist", "personal legend" is the fate of life. It determines the goals of your life and pursues it. When Santiago encounters Salem's old king Melchizedek, he teaches him what his personal legend is. He said that the personal legend is "what you always want to achieve." Through the world, mentor and logo, the world will try to reveal your personal saga to you in various ways. . Regardless of where your personal legend comes, it is important for you to acknowledge and take action to make your dreams come true. After all, "When you truly want something, the universe will always be good for you"

I thought that the concept of "personal legend" is interesting for conceptualizing your life and the future, even though it is not entirely original. As King Melchizedek explained to Santiago, your personal legend is what you wanted to do when you were young. Because everything is possible in that life. This is a dream, you think you are responsible for achieving that you should notice. To do this, you must recognize your personal legend, allow you to pursue it, and start doing it.

Your personal legend is what you always wanted to do. Every young person knows what their personal legend is. At the time they live, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid of dreaming and do not want to crave all the things they want to do in their lives.

Everyone has their own legend. I have no personal legend, or since my age 19 my life may be so difficult that I can not think of a personal legend. Not everyone is lucky enough to be born in wealthy families, but since I was very young, I am very familiar with this luxury lifestyle, so I can not think of a personal legend. In the senior elite Bangladesh society, parents decide the personal legend of their children. Just as I would like to be a singer I might be my own legend someone told me that music is suitable for those not in the upper classes They are called musicians and they are fame there is not.
