But        MD>> from my point of view Althemist is not, it is more like        MD>> graphomania.               AS> One aphorism from The Alchemist, "Once you make a decision, the        AS> universe conspires to make it happen", is often attributed to Ralph        AS> Waldo Emerson, but I did not find it in any of his essays. If        AS> Coelho wrote it himself, he is not so bad at all at all!              In my opinion, the phrase is a sweet lie for those who wants hear it. It is       unnatural, as the idea that a person can freely buy a flock of sheep and graze       them in any part of the country... without being beaten by the land owners and       local shepherds. ;-)              Bye, Anton!       Alexander Koryagin       english_tutor 2019              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 226/17 229/107 426 1014 240/1120 2100 5138       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 5853 8001 8002 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 313/41       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200 393/68 2454/119       PATH: 221/6 1 640/1384 3634/12 261/38 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
