Paulo Coelho was born into a catholic family who were very strict in terms of religion and faith. His father was an engineer and wanted his son follow his path or become a lawyer. At age 17, he told his parents about his passion for writing and his introversion in following tradition; as a result, he was admitted in a mental institution from where he escaped 3 times. He was enrolled in a law school but he left and started drugs and travelling; while travelling he got inspiration to write lyrics and scripts.

Sometimes you are facing difficulties not because you are doing something wrong, but because you are doing something right. “Paulo Coelho”
