Day 4 - What Latino Blog I Recommend

The Alchemist,
movie to come out in 2011
Looking at my Google Reader (and double checked Bloglines, while I still can RIP) I realized quickly... I don't have many Latino Blogs that I follow... most people I know have heard/read Latinegro's blog so that recommendation is set. The Coffeehouse (ahem) has been inactive under protest.. ha. Many of the blogs I read focus around technology or education which are probably two of my biggest passions. (I won't mention the entertainment gossip blogs... those don't count!) That doesn't mean that I don't appreciate Latino writers or blogger - but have you tried to read 100 blogs a day?? It's so time consuming. Lately I've also been trying to read more news oriented blogs focused around business and politics - I have a decent amount of career goals ahead of me soon ;)

The only other blog that falls under this category I would recommend is Paulo Coelho's blog. He has been one of my favorite writers since college and I've read nearly every one of his books. He's someone who has the ability to make you view life in a way you never thought you could. He tugs at your heart strings about love, friendships, families and quality of life. I'll leave you with this recent post that really stuck with me:
 
A man knocked at his Bedouin friend’s door to ask him a favor:
“I want you to lend me four thousand dinars because I have a debt to pay. Can you do that for me?”

The friend asked his wife to gather together everything they had of value, but even so it was not enough. They had to go out and borrow money from the neighbors until they managed to get the full amount.

When the man left, the woman noticed that her husband was crying.
“Why are you sad? Now that we’ve got ourselves in debt with our neighbors, are you afraid we won’t be able to repay them?”

“Nothing of the sort! I’m crying because he is someone I love so much, but even so I had no idea he was in need. I only remembered him when he had to knock on my door to ask me for a loan.”

- Why are you crying? Paulo Coelho Blog
Day 4! HOLLA! ;)
