Why Paulo Coelho?





When I read his books, always I find out a new thing and the teaching point in the behind of his books. I don’t know why, but his written caused to think about myself and with to read 2 or 3 times, this thought will be more. He is my favorite writer and I like him so much. Among his books, I think the “MAKTUB” is his masterpiece. I read “MAKTUB” numerously. I love all of the stories in his book and one of them that I think is very good is this story :

A friend took Hassan to the door of a mosque, where a blind man was begging. "This blind man is the wisest person in our country," said the friend. "How long have you been blind," Hassan asked the man. "Since birth," the man answered. "And how did you become so wise?" "Since I didn't accept my blindness, I tried to become a
Astronomer," the man answered. "But, since I couldn't see the heavens, I was forced to imagine the stars, the sun and the galaxies. And, the closer I came to God's work, the closer I came to His wisdom."

Do you agree with me?

دوستی حسن را به کنار در مسجدی برد، آنجا مرد نابینایی مشغول گدایی بود. دوست گفت این مرد نابینا، خردمندترین فرد سرزمین ماست. حسن از آن مرد پرسید: چند وقت است نابینایی ؟ مرد پاسخ داد: کور مادر زادم و چگونه این اندازه خردمند شدی ؟ مرد پاسخ داد : از آنجایی که نابیناییم را نمی پذیرفتم. کوشیدم اخترشناس بشوم. اما از آنجا که نمی توانستم آسمان را ببینم ، مجبور شدم ستارگان، خورشید . کهکشان را تصور کنم و هر چه به کار خدا نزدیکتر می شوم ، به خرد او نیز نزدیک تر می شوم.
