THE ALCHEMIST was the book of your’s which I read I really became a great fan of you….And I am trying to download the book The Winner Stands Alone as pdf format from 10 days but i am not able could u please mail me that or suggest a site for me
I just read your books. Except I just skip Gabriella and Jasmine story (at first read). I think Igor is really an interesting character. He have mental scarred from childhood that he bring until now, not to mention join war that he didn’t want to part with. He is also very depressed and feel trapped with his life. He feels very angry with the unfair world.
Through out the story, we can really understand his feeling and thinking. I don’t justify his murdering but I feel sorry for him. Cause I think that he is not a bad guy, he just twisted in his quest to gain power (to compensate his suffering). Unfortunately, instead of overcoming it with positive energy, he directed his bad experience into hatred to the world. He let his anger, hatred, sadness, loneliness, etc control him. In other words, he is also a victim of this unfair world.
I hope that in the future, he can meet someone who able “to heal him” and let him atoned for his sin.
nice book…really njoyed

yes its true winner stands alone till he got his status or sucess than after he not alone for many perosn wannt share his sucess…..its amazing pics to think within us…
The picture says it all, the winner is nothing but an ant comparing himself or herself to a giant. The picture showcases loneliness, but loneliness is a human state that even the poor and rich deal with. I’m half way through the book and i love it!
This is a wonderful pic. I liked it very much. I just wanted to know that can a person be a winner as well as not a loner.
Is it important to pay such a huge price to become a winner?
Love
questa foto e’ strepitosa***********
This picture is one way to represent the idea of ‘the winner stands alone’. Every person is alone in his path in this life. Only those on the top can be seen. A man between two walls has reached an end not the top.
I have been reading these book for last 3 days,
as i dont get much time to read but as i am this book i am enjoying it on every page
a week ago I’ve bought the Indonesia version…..very impresive from the first page….
Yes……..I always says that M Alone,n people says dat no one is alone on dis earth…..But the probs is dat they can’t understand my thought about Aloneness…It means Being in a crowd if u r living vid the nature particulars such as the Birds,The River,The Trees,The sands etc.If u r talking vid these particulars it means dat u r alone in a crowd..coz Now a days no one wants to live in dis situation….
In my view it gives me such a great part of relax..not a bit but really i enjoy it more, more, more and more…….The nature is my Best friend…….
So when i saw this Book in Universal when i went dere to bought a story book i realy pleased with this title.It gives me answer of my all questions……….
And now I am reading this book n really it’s too good …
Thanx.
Hi Neha you are write i feel the similar way and have just bought this book and have started reading it..
Hello Neha,
I was just reading the responses here..but as I read ur response,I got…there are other people in the earth who can feel..like I am feeling from past few months.Even I talk to SUN,MOON,STARS,FORESTS..So keep going on…it really gives a ultimate pleasure..
Winner Stand alone….in my View…Its a Inspiring topic..I like it So much….Its a topic which inspire very person who feels alone and who are alone..the topic itself insipre them saying-”"Hey!!!!dont be sad…Be happy..Be Proud..U know why becoz winner always stands alone………….”"
c’est une magnifique photo . en la regardant j’ai commencé à reflechir a propos de notre monde . chacun de nous passe par des moments de solitude , il pense que personne l’aime et prend soins de lui , mais quelque chose efface toutes ces petites choses et nous pousse a continuer notre vie .. je n’ai pas lu encore le livre mais je pense qu’il est magnifique . LA VIE EST SIMPLEMENT LA VIE .

Alone…one will feel.This picture represents a winner and he has to be a loner to be a winner.This is the payment one has to give to be at the apex.
SE fosse anos atras eu nao podia entender mas vivendo cada dia percebo que as experiencias as situacoes que me surgem na vida eu socinha sou responsavel pela resposta ou reacao a eles.Tanto a ” possitiva como a negativa”. However we think, however we do is all a matter of choice the right one or wrong one. We got to chooce.By the end we are in peace or…not.
Gostei do livro.Nao foi facil a leitura encontrei um pouco de mim que estava escondido no inconsciente.
Obrigada

The sadder part of the winners life – sometimes You feel alone in it. But it depends from your view of life… it makes me depressed, when I look at this picture. Gray tones, solitary person between wall-like things, and a lonely path before the person. Lonely.
Al traspasar los muros, el hombre se encuentra con su libertad.
Otro mundo sin barreras.
This is me!
The inability to withstand ambiguity leads to splitting. . .But not here, here we have the warrior of the middle path of light and compassion where in any given moment he can stand alone within arms length to be a fulcrum of the tensions of the right and the tensions of the left, centered in his own small potent insignificant steps opening to a crack that embraces the whole damn world and heaven too. . .

Tonight , i’m reading a book and This picture , yes this picture ! ! !…in the reality , path of St jacques de Compostelle , i can see THE ” BRÊCHE DE ROLAND ” like the paulo’s picture ( au dessus du cirque de Gavarnie / pyrénées / france )
http://www.randozone.com/fiches/breche-de-roland.php
According to a local legend, the breach was opened by Roland, the nephew of Charlemagne, while he tried to destroy his sword ‘Durandal’ by striking it against the cliff at the conclusion of the Battle of the Roncesvalles.
Some pélerins adventurous ‘pélerins of st jacques’ crossed the crest of Pyrenees before joining Torla, Biescas then Jaca…
Selon une légende locale, la brèche fut ouverte par Roland, le neveu de Charlemagne, alors qu’il tentait de détruire son épée Durandal en la frappant contre la roche à l’issue de la Bataille de Roncevaux.
Certains pélerins aventureux franchissaient la crête des Pyrénées avant de rejoindre Torla , Biescas puis Jaca …
Great picture, it conveys plenty to me … the long shadow cast by the solitary figure… who has slipped through such a narrow gap… with high solid barriers on either side of him… vague hills or are they waves? slipping into oblivion behind her… the light opening out and becoming more before him…
excited about reading a new book… love your work!
This picture represents that individually we are but a small yet essential part.
Without the person standing there, this picture would have little appeal or meaning. Yet, having the person in the middle, I experience feelings of fear, sorrow, anticipation and excitement for the possibility. It also expresses to me the past and future.
I love art, it’s brilliant in the story it’s capable of portraying if we open our minds to it… like life I guess!
