Living in a poor neighborhood with a very dysfunctional family, her life wasnt always glamorous.
Her mother suffered physically and emotionally because of her father. Her father had problems with drugs and alcohol, so he would constantly sell items from their home.

Paulo Coelho | The Prisoner Who Wrote The Alchemist
Our Hero, Paulo Coelho, the person who inspires millions of people every day, didnt have an easy life.

Paulo Coelho was a shy kid who loved reading and writing and dreamed of becoming a writer one day. But unfortunately, his parents didnt agree with him. They wanted him to become a lawyer, because they saw no future in having a career as a writer in Brazil. They were so worried that their rebellious son wanted to became a writer, believe it or not, they put their son in a mental institution at the age of 17. He escaped three times before the age of 20.
At first he gave in to his parents wishes. He abandoned his dream of becoming a writer and began studying law. But soon, he dropped out, became a hippie, and began traveling.
After he returned to Brazil, he started writing songs. But because some of the songs had revolutionary lyrics, he was arrested 3 times by the military government.
After changing several careers, he still felt like something was missing. But At the age of 39, during his visit to Spain he had a spiritual awakening that inspired him to devote himself completely to writing.

The book was already written in my soul.
The Alchemist became one of the most popular and best-selling novels of all time, and Paulo Coelho became one of the most loved authors in the world.
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

Motivational Success Story Of Stan Lee - Dont Let Idiots Control Your Life!
Whatever you do give it your best shot. Youll be glad you did it - Stan Lee
At 17 he was hired as an office assistant at Timely Comics that would later evolve into Marvel Comics. At first he had the most mundane job. He would fill the inkwells, go down and buy lunch for everyone, erase pages and proofread. But He soon became an interim editor for the company.
And slowly Stan began building a universe of characters that everybody loved, including the Fantastic Four, Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, and many more.
But one time he almost quit.
His publisher asked Stan to come up with a new superhero.
And he started thinking..
One day he saw a fly on the wall and though what an amazing thing it would be if this superhero could stick to walls and crawl on them. So spider man was born. But He wanted to do something different with this character. He gave him personal problems and made him a teenager. So excited and armed with great ideas Stan lee ran into his publishers office to bring him the great news. But the reaction was:
Stan, that is the worst idea I have ever heard
But, something incredible happened. The magazine didnt sell well so it was about to shut down. They were releasing the last issue and nobody cared what would be on the last cover. SO just to get it out of his system he put Spider-Man on the cover. And it became so popular that his publisher fell in love with Spider-Man .
If you have an idea that you genuinely think its good dont let some idiot talk you out of it. If there is something that you feel is good, something you want to do, something that means something to you. Try to do it. Because I think you can only do your best work if youre doing what you want to do. And if youre doing it the way you think it should be done, and if you can take pride in it after youve done it. No matter what it is. So dont let idiots talk you out of something that you think is good. Just do your thing. Do it as well as you can. Thats the important thing. Whatever you do give it your best shot. Youll be glad you did it - Stan Lee
