"The Adventures of a Boy Riding the Wind" is a new masterpiece by Brazilian national treasure writer Paulo Coelho, in this book, we tell about his personal experience, philosophy, and perception, and also provoke us to think more.
This is a completely new book by the author, in which he does not bring us another adventure story, but looks at the details of life. Some people say that this is a chicken soup for the soul, some people say that this is a "big truth in a small story", maybe this book has this content, but there is also no lack of opening another door for us, let us stop on the road of adventure, to think about our life state, let us pick up some waves of wisdom in the rushing river of life, to water our life.
The most impressive is the first story, "The Story of the Pencil". The grandmother in the story told the boy about the five qualities of a pencil. Perhaps we have never found so many qualities in pencils before, but, it must be said, it is not too late. Perhaps it is this anthropomorphic philosophy that brings us such profound thinking. When we experience the hardships and sorrows of life, we may write a new life, when we discover our past shortcomings and shortcomings, we will embark on a more correct path, when we can always pay attention to our inner state, we can live each day well, and when we pay attention to our words and deeds, we can have fewer regrets in the future.
When asked by a reporter, "If you die today, what kind of funeral would you want?", he thought of scattering his ashes in the wind, and if he had to write it, he wrote on the epitaph, "He lived until the moment of his death". This can't help but make us think about our own state of existence, whether we are really living, whether those busyness and numbness make us repeat our lives day after day, and whether we should pay more attention to life, pay attention to every minute and every second of the moment.
Perhaps, at some point, you have heard similar stories, perhaps, you have also made some decisions or some choices under the guidance of the principles reflected in these stories, perhaps, they have also given you some guidance when you feel lost, and perhaps, they have also revealed a little light when you are in the dark...... We can't deny that life is a little bit of accumulation, and what we have gained from life is finally integrated into our life again.
Adventure brings us infinite possibilities, but the moment of silence makes us think more deeply about the meaning of life itself, and then, pack the results of our thinking and embark on a journey again.
