"I'm not afraid of failing. It's just that I don't know how to turn myself into the wind." "Well, you'll have to learn; your life depends on it." "But what if I can't?" "Then you'll die in the midst of trying to realize your destiny. That's a lot better than dying like millions of other people, who never even knew what their destinies were." "But don't worry," the alchemist continued. "Usually the threat of death makes people a lot more aware of their lives."
The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
Passage deux from The Alchemist
"If we're going to go our separate ways soon," the boy said, "then teach me about alchemy."
"You already know about alchemy. It is about penetrating to the Soul of the World, and discovering the treasure that has been reserved for you."
"No, that's not what I mean. I'm talking about transforming lead into gold."
The alchemist fell as silent as the desert, and answered the boy only after they had stopped to eat. "Everything in the universe evolved," he said. "And, for wise men, gold is the metal that evolved the furthest. Don't ask me why; I don't know why. I just know that the Tradition is always right. "Men have never understood the words of the wise. So gold, instead of being seen as a symbol of evolution, became the basis for conflict...I have known true alchemists," the alchemist continued. "They locked themselves in their laboratories, and tried to evolve, as gold had. And they found the Philosopher's Stone, because they understood that when something evolves, everything around that thing evolves as well. "Others stumbled upon the stone by accident. They already had the gift, and their souls were readier for such things than the souls of others. But they don't count. They're quite rare. "And then there were the others, who were interested only in gold. They never found the secret. They forgot that lead, copper, and iron have their own destinies to fulfill. And anyone who interferes with the destiny of another thing never will discover his own."
The alchemist's words echoed out like a curse...
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho
Passage from The Alchemist
"My heart is a traitor," the boy said to the alchemist, when they had paused to rest the horses. "It doesn't want me to go on."
"That makes sense," the alchemist answered. "Naturally it's afraid that, in pursuing your dream, you might lose everything you've won."
"Well, then, why should I listen to my heart?"
"Because you will never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you're thinking about life and about the world."
"You mean I should listen, even if it's treasonous?"
"Treason is a blow that comes unexpectedly. If you know your heart well, it will never be able to do that to you. Because you'll know its dreams and wishes, and will know how to deal with them. "You will never be able to escape from your heart. So it's better to listen to what it has to say. That way, you'll never have to fear an unanticipated blow."
The boy continued to listen to his heart as they crossed the desert. He came to understand its dodges and tricks, and to accept it as it was. He lost his fear, and forgot about his need to go back to the oasis, because, one afternoon, his heart told him that it was happy.
"Even though I complain sometimes," it said, "it's because I'm the heart of a person, and people's hearts are that way. People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them. We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of moments that could have been good but weren't, or of treasures that might have been found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we suffer terribly."
"My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky.
"Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity."
But that disaster taught me to understand the word of Allah: people need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.
Camel Driver in The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho
When the camel driver lost his property, he was probably tempted to be very frightened of the unknown: How would he pay his bills? How would he feed his children? How would he access Netflix? But the camel driver is a resourceful kind of guy—and someone who's resourceful never has to fear the unknown.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I’m trying to expand this project and add all kinds of new features. If you want to help, you can pledge 1$ to my patreon here, and in exchange, you’ll get access to a second project where I try to create the coziest/warmest art collection on the internet.
I love this so much. They are so sweet.
It is often remarked that nothing we do now will matter in a million years. But if that is true, then by the same token, nothing that will be the case in a million years matters now. In particular, it does not matter now that in million years nothing we do now will matter.

Happy Mother’s Day to some of the mothers of mathematics: the women today and throughout history whose work, socially and mathematically, has diminished the role gender has in determining which opportunities will be afforded a young person interested in mathematics.
There’s work still to be done but we have models in these and so many other women mathematicians. These are women who have passed on a legacy of mathematics instead of genetics, but I think today is a fine day to honor them anyway.
@eldritchsqurriel let me know that yesterday was also European Women in Mathematics Day, so a doubly suitable day to honor these ladies.
Important.
Above my desk at home, I’ve taped an index card to the wall. It reads:
Your Humanity Matters Too
It’s definitely hard, especially when there’s many things to do in only so much time. But the work is ever-present–new tasks replace the old–and so I make a point to take walks, play games with friends, etc. It took practice to not feel guilty (or panicked, or conflicted) whenever I invest time outside my career, but non-career things are important to me too, and that’s a sufficient reason for spending time on them.
I hope you find your balance, my friends. Wishing you the best, always!
