The Alchemist Question #7

Here are some quotes that I personally found really powerful. Please either comment on these, or add your own.

"Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how otyher people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."

"'What's the world's greatest lie?' the boy asked, completely surprised. 'It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate.'"

"People fail to recognize the good things that happen in their lives every day that the sun rises."

I think often times we are much more willing to give advice than to receive it. It is hard to admit when you are wrong.
