Why you shouldn't believe The Alchemist

When you know what you want the whole world conspires you to achieve it
This is what is mentioned in The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. It's a quote mentioned by far too many people when things work out for them. But it's not bloody true. So stop quoting it as if it was the divine message of Thor.

If this quote was true the following would have happened by now:

1. Paraguay would have reached and won the World Cup final and the streets of Paraguay would've seen a pair of truly golden globes.

2. Lame ass reality shows in India would've been off air.

3. REN and MEGA channels would've been back on air.

And instead of a Lenovo T400, I would've had Monica Bellucci and Adriana Lima on my lap right now.

Point made! So stop quoting that lame piece of trash and just go out and party when things have worked for you. Or else I'll post 'congrates' and 'best luck' all over your social networking site page. The previous sentence would make sense to mostly COEP junta :)

But, is having Monica Bellucci and Adriana Lima on your lap your destiny? :)

May be you are missing the destiny condition and if not that then the TIME may not have come. :)

"When you know what you want" - is what the quote says. I definitely know that is what i want, but the whole world is not exactly conspiring as of now :D

Actually, when you want something, the Universe first gets divided into two parts, one of them conspires a-la the Alchemist, the other conspires to screw your plans!
