Alchemy is about turning common, ordinary objects into something of the most value: gold. The story of the The Alchemist is about taking the common ordinary events of life, and life itself, and turning them into something beyond value. This is evident in two areas: 1) the journey itself, and 2) the events within the journey. Santiago's treasure, ironically, is at the very place where he began the trip. But in order for Santiago to grow, to achieve his personal legend, he must go on the journey. The journey itself turns Santiago from someone common to someone who believes in himself, into a person who has achieved his personal legend (unlike the crystal seller); thus, the journey--or life--is like alchemy, turning an ordinary life into gold. But one of the reasons the journey is successful for Santiago is because of his willingness, his attitude to view life positively. When his money is stolen, Santiago makes a conscience choice to an "adventurer in search of treasure," rather than "a victim." Santiago chooses to allow the events of life, even the disappointments, to work for good. Thus, The Alchemist is also about the need to see life as a process, one that is working towards good, one that will produce gold in you if you choose to view it so.
The boy who met the magi is Santiago, the main character in Paulo Coelho's novel "The Alchemist." Santiago embarks on a journey to find a hidden treasure and learns valuable life lessons along the way from the magi, who are wise men.
Both the Englishman's search for the alchemist and Santiago's search for a treasure involve a journey of self-discovery, where they encounter challenges and gain wisdom along the way. However, the Englishman's search is more focused on acquiring knowledge, while Santiago's search is more about finding one's personal legend and purpose in life. Both journeys ultimately lead to spiritual fulfillment and understanding of the universe.

It all depends on what you think of your life. Many people have different opinions on what they like to do during there life-time. For instance, i like playing guitar, but you may not. Life is based on interesting choices, and the interest in life, is what choices you reject and what choices you choose to make. Basically life is interesting to you, if it makes you happy:)

Santiago's father reacts negatively when his son tells him he wants to travel, urging him to find contentment in their simple life as farmers. He discourages Santiago from following his dreams of exploring the world and becoming a shepherd without giving it much thought.
