Legends : Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho blog

Paulo Coelho is one of the most famous writers in the whole world…born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. …he has sold over 100 million books in over 150 countries worldwide and his works have been translated into 66 languages “big number..I know” ….he is one of the United Nations Messengers of Peace raising global awareness of the world body’s work and ideals..which is considered a really wonderful thing..the reason why I wrote about him today is that I found out that his book “Brida” which was published 1990 became available for anybody to read online for free…so check the book out its a really amazing Novel that will just amaze you :) …..you can check it out by clicking on the widget in the sidebar of my blog.

This is the story of Brida, a young Irish girl, and her quest for knowledge. She has long been interested in various aspects of magic but is searching for something more. Her search leads her to people of great wisdom, who begin to teach Brida about the spiritual world. She meets a wise man who dwells in a forest, who teaches her about overcoming her fears and trusting in the goodness of the world; and a woman who teaches her how to dance to the music of the world, and how to pray to the moon. As Brida seeks her destiny, she struggles to find a balance between her relationships and her desire to become a witch. This enthralling novel incorporates themes that fans of Paulo Coelho will recognize and treasure—it is a tale of love, passion, mystery, and spirituality from the master storyteller.

Check out today’s newspapers

Hey,

so today’s word is “newspaper” …..I love front pages of newspapers…..just for no reason…I buy a newspaper…read the first page and then throw it away…of course after getting the cartoon section from it :) …the front page is all about the inside…summarizing whats going on inside the newspaper, today…my hands landed on a great discovery of my own :) …I feel like christopher columbus discovering America and saying “Hey, we are in India people :) ” ….today’s discovery is the website that has all the front pages of most of the worlds newspapers and the website looks mainly like this

Cool….and check this out too…I found some interesting front pages of the day :

and this one : and the winner of the “least amounts of words on a front page goes to”……`drum rolls`…….

The Beijing News

I think the main headline is “Look at him running 3 miles”….or “He is running 3 miles”…

That’s our daily “News” round-up for the day….oh and by the way…the website link is :

Things that matter & Losers List: War and its impact & Miss Teen South Carolina

War is the most common thing you hear on the news today, war for oil, war for America’s presidency,Donald Trump and Rosie O’Donnell war, “I’m Hot” war between the retarded girls from Hollywood”Imagine who :) “, as teenagers, we have to understand the way our world is running now, not like when a Miss Teen South Carolina answered the question “why don’t most of the American people don’t know where America is?”…she said that they don’t have maps, and kept referring to “The” Iraq and South Africa, which by the way doesn’t start with “The”, okay, Miss Dumb, the reason why they don’t know, is that they need to have time to read, to know stuff, not because they don’t have maps! well, back to our subject, I read in the news about teenagers that made campaigns that say NO to war, and that’s a good thing, our voice is heard, and thats the main thing, take care guys, and every now and then just read a book!
