Meanwhile, if anyone did dare to ask, the answer would be: I considered giving up. I thought God was no longer listening to me, I often had to change direction, and, on other occasions, I lost my way. Despite everything, though, I found it again and carried on, because I was convinced there was no other way to live my life. I learned which bridges should be crossed and which should be burned. I am poet, farmer, artist, soldier, father, trader, seller, teacher, politician, sage, and someone who merely takes care of home and children. I am aware that there are many people more famous than I and, often, that fame is richly deserved. In other cases, it is merely a manifestation of vanity or ambition and will not stand the test of time. What is success? It is being able to go to bed at night with your soul at peace. And Almira, who still believed that an army of angels and archangels would descend from the heavens to protect the sacred city, said: Talk to us about miracles. - Paulo Coelho, Manuscripts Found in Accra _()_
