The Winner Stand Alone

Posted: March 27, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: , , , | Leave a comment »
I’ve been reading Paulo Coelho’s novels lately, and the one I’m correctly reading is; The Winner Stands Alone.

I love his books I can’t describe how they make me feel, but they always take me to another world, my own world of imagination, his words are very wise and I always end up having fun and learning things.
So anyway while reading I stumbled into something very interesting and lovely, I simply love it, and it’s when a character named Javits(very famous man, related to movie production) ask his friend: What does being normal mean? So during this conversation he take out a list that he basically have made some facts about being “normal”.  (pg.47)
Here you go(I only choose my favorite):
  1. Normal is anything that makes us forget who we are and what we want; that way we can work in order to produce, reproduce, and earn money.
  2. Spending years studying at university only to find at the end of it all that you’r unemployable.
  3. working from nine till five everyday at something that gives you no pleasure at all so that, after thirty years, you can retire.
  4. Retiring and discovering that you no longer have enough energy to enjoy life and dying a few years later of sheer boredom.
  5. using Botox
  6. making fun of anyone who seeks happiness rather that money and accusing them of “lack ambition”
  7. Never talking to strangers. Saying nasty things about the neighbors.
  8. Believing you parents are always right.
  9. Getting married, having children and staying together long after all love has died, saying it’s for the good of the children.
  10. Criticizing anyone who tries to be different.
  11. Waking up each morning to a hysterical alarm clock on the beside table.
  12. Believing absolutely everything that appears in print.
  13. Never asking a direct question, even though the other person can guess what it is you want to know.
  14. Keeping a smile on your lips even when you’r on the verge of tears. Feeling sorry for those who show their feelings.
  15. Following fashion trends, however ridiculous of uncomfortable.
  16. Investing a lot of time and money in external beauty and caring little about inner beauty.
  17. Never laughing too loudly in a restaurant however good the joke.
  18. Going to a charity tea party and thinking that you’ve done your bit toward putting an end to social inequality in the world.
  19. Swearing when in heavy traffic.
  20. Marrying the first person who offers you a decent position in society. Love can wait.
  21. Assuming that women don’t like football and that men aren’t interested in home decoration and cooking.
  22. Blaming the government for all the bad things that happen.
  23. Being equally convinced that aggression and ruddiness are synonymous with having a”powerful personality”.
