whenever we do something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend.

First few quotes from The Alchemist, which is absolutely amazing, and then some Sparky Anderson love. :)

"Whenever we are doing something that fills us with enthusiasm, we are following our legend."
-from Paulo Cohelo's introduction to The Alchemist

"It is the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo

"Dreams are the language of God. When he speaks in our language, I can interpret what he has said. But if he speaks in the language of the soul, it is only you who can understand."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo

"It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo

"If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo

"'What's the world's greatest lie?' the boy asked, completely surprised. 'It is this: that a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what is happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie.'"
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo

"Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is. At that point in their lives, everything is clear, and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see hapen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend."
-from The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo
