The Alchemist
This great book was written by Paulo Coelho, a Brazilian lyricist and novelist. It follows Santiago, a young Spanish shepherd, on a journey to fulfill his Personal Legend.
An excerpt from “The Alchemist” written by Paulo Coelho.
They crossed the desert for another two days in silence. the alchemist had become much more cautious, because they were approaching the area where the most violent battles were being waged. As they moved along, the boy tried to listen to his heart.
It was not easy to do; in earlier times, his heart had always been ready to tell its story, but lately that wasn’t true. There had been times when his heart spent hours telling of his sadness, and at other times it became so emotional over the desert sunrise that the boy had to hide his tears. His heart beat faster when it spoke to the boy of treasure and more slowly when the boy stared entranced at the endless horizons of the desert. But his heart was never quiet, even when the boy and the alchemist had fallen into silence.
“Why do we have to listen to our hearts?” the boy asked, when they had made camp that day.
“Because, wherever your heart is, that is where you’ll find your treasure.”
Movie Review: Last Chance Harvey
Harvey Shine, played by Dustin Hoffman, travels to London for the weekend for his daughter’s wedding. Leaving the plane in London, he briefly encounters Kate Walker, played by Emma Thompson, whose job is to collect statistics at Heathrow Airport, and rudely refuses to fill out her questionnaire. Harvey’s job in New York as a commercial jingle writer for a Manhattan agency is his escape from his personal life. His boss is less impressed with Harvey’s latest work , and would rather see Harvey make room for younger composers. Harvey’s personal life is almost non-exsistent. After he divorced his wife, she happily remarries. His daughter Susan has a close relationship with her new stepfather, and informs Harvey at the pre-wedding dinner that she would rather prefer her stepfather to walk her down the aisle.
In the meantime, Kate, hopeless to meet the right guy, is on a blind date, set up by one of her friends and co-workers. Harvey can’t wait to get back to New York for a very important meeting, and decides to only attempt the ceremony and skip the reception. Yet, nothing goes according to his plan. His second encounter with Kate Walker is about to change his life.
I definitely recommend to watch this movie. Yes, it is a romantic comedy. Yes, the end is happy. Yet, there was something about this movie that made you want to believe and not to give up hope. If you start crying easily in emotional situations, make sure you have enough tissues.
Okay so we’ve all had a time in our lives when we felt like we needed to lay on somebody’s couch and talk. Talk about all the things that have gone wrong in our lives. Talk about our jacked-up relationships and ask that question, “What’s wrong with me?” Well, Dr. Michelle Callahan will tell you, “there’s nothing wrong with you that can’t be fixed.” LiveSteez had a chance to talk with Dr. Michelle about her book, “Are You Ms. Typed.” In her book she describes all the twisty-turny personality quirks that women often encounter while trying to find “the one.” But be warned, she keeps it real and will let you know, “you need to take some time to yourself and figure this thing out.” While it hurts to hear the truth, that’s all you’re going to get from Dr. Michelle, so brace yourself, and get ready to get down to the nit and grit of who you are, not who circumstances have made you!

How To Live Happy With A Man
1. Don’t overanalyze every word he says. Like for example: he tells you now – both of you are in your late 20′s or early 30′s – that if you were to gain a lot of weight in 30 years, he will leave you. Don’t let that mess up the next 30 years of your life.
2. Give him some space. Try to let him discover some things on his own. This way he won’t lose his mind if you are ever out of town.
3. Be independent. Pursue your own interests. Do something with your friends,or take up a hobby. Note: He can’t be your hobby.
4. Loose your needy and attention greedy attitude. As attention needy as men can be they still fear needy women. If you live his life, who is going to live yours?
5. Don’t look busy. Be busy. Ignoring his phone calls to teach him a lesson can be a real torture. Not being able to pick up the phone because you are in the middle of something very important is so much fun.
How To Know A Player
Don’t we think we recognize a player when we see one? A promiscuous man who knows – oh so well – how to read between your lines, who looks deep into your eyes and your heart starts beating faster, a man you would want to have all to yourself…
Then, all of a sudden – right when the birds of love are rehearsing the happy love song in your head – his presence begins to fade away, his phone calls become rare, and you turn into a restless creature spending most of your time ordering greasy Chinese food, stuffing yourself with chocolate and ice cream. You blame yourself for ignoring the red flags, for listening to his sweet voice but not hearing his words, and for letting yourself fall in his arms. You question yourself what went wrong but you can’t find the answer. The answer is you got played.
There are three types of players: player for life aka collective player, trial player, and last but not least, lovesick player. Each type might have different motives, similar intentions but the outcome is identical – your feelings will get hurt.
Player for life aka collective player is the most dangerous species among male players. He is a player by choice. As a true womanizer he has many years of experience. Enchanting women comes natural to him. He can easily identify his next victim just by looking at her for a couple of minutes. He knows exactly what she wants him to be, and it brings him great pleasure to slurp in the role she wants him to play. He likes to collect women as precious exhibits. He loves the challenge. The more challenging you are the more persistent he will become, and the longer he might stick around. He constantly falls in and out of love, and believes that unfulfilled love can be romantic. Once you get over him you will recall your encounter with him as a beautiful and passionate moment of happiness.
