I got to read this book before the Alchemist. So when I did get to the Alchemist, I noticed how both of them were similarly bathed in poetry. This book is one of those rare ones that shifted me every time I opened it up. It has moved me in ways I can’t describe and always leaves a beautiful residue, even if I haven’t re-read it recently.

This is a fiction book that tells a story about a young man who go on an adventure to seek out a treasure from a hint he found.
In the journey, not only he grows as a person, he also discovers love and wisdom. Sadly, he failed to find his treasure and thought maybe the experience is the treasure.
So he went back home, living his old life back. Only to find that the treasure he was seeking all along is hidden nearby.
It's a great closing. And the moral of the story is we always try to look for treasure outside, while it is always inside of us. But the experience that we encounter outside will made us realize the treasure inside.
The Alchemist is a fiction book with beautiful narratives, filled with magical stories and deep morals that changed my perspective in life.

Every time I unlock my phone, I unintentionally go down a rabbit hole of apps & notifications, forgetting why I picked it up in the first place.
I’m today years old learning that I can access spotlight search on my phone’s lock-screen (which means i can access apps and call people without actually having to unlock my phone)
- STEP 1: Swipe down while on your lock screen
- STEP 2: Type name of app you want to open or enter contact name

I’m lazy but I also like to have my files organized. Whether it’s notes, photos, or drafts of projects I’m working on. Labeling my stuff with this date format let’s me create files and put them wherever with minimal effort, and I can easily recall stuff by just sorting them by name. And I don’t have to rely on a janky filter like “created by” “ modified by” etc.

Bonus tip: my friend likes to simplify it even further, he prefers YYMMDD (240316). Typically we steer clear from dots (24.03.16) or dashes (24-03-16) for formatting/compatibility issues when moving/sharing files around.
