Will Smith and “The Alchemist”

( he mentions the book at 01:07 m )

As I don’t have neither your phone, nor your email, I say it here: thank you, Will Smith, for your support.
And thank you for all anonymous readers who helped to make “The Alchemist” the most translated book of a living author (Guinness Book of World Records ): 71 languages

E sobretudo, obrigado aos leitores brasileiros que foram os primeiros a descobrir meu trabalho, e assim permitir que ele corresse o mundo.

Que bello camino, campeones!

Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino, y nada más;
caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante, no hay camino,
sino estelas en la mar.

Antonio Machado

*************
Wanderer, your footsteps are
the road, and nothing more;
Wanderer, there’s no road,
the road is made by walking.
By walking one makes the road,
and seeing behind the vista,
one sees the path that will
never be travelled again.
Wanderer, there’s no road,
only waves in the sea.

-(tr. Ravi Kopra)
