I talk to my friends about my dreams, plans and visions for the future. About how I am going to make it big. About the risks involved. About getting out of the comfort zones and be like the Santiago of ALCHEMIST. I listen to their dreams; try to help in whatever silly, trivial ways possible.

The interesting part is, nobody but nobody is entirely happy about his or her life. They are all in their own crossroads. Some are small junctions. Some are like our own Kathipara Junction – too complex. Some are just taking it easy whilst for others it’s ‘perform or perish’ situation.

In a way all of us are like Santiago who loses his money to the conman.
We fail in our attempts. We make mistakes. We are let down. Sometimes stabbed in the back. Fate puts us in a corner. The different roles that we play (father, mother, friend, lover, wife, husband, son and daughter, etc) sometimes put our dreams, goals in the back seat.
Reality bites. We have no other option but to work in the glass shop while actually we were looking out for treasure.

The key is not to get too comfortable with the glass shop job. We may have done well there but we should know that this job is just a transit point and not the original destination result we had in mind.

There is no such thing as minimizing risks.
It’s like saying minimizing life.

So decide on the time to pack your bags from the glass shop and move towards the treasure.
