Answer:

The message I get from this is that while there is much to be seen in the world, we must not lose sight of our primary responsibilities in life. For Santiago (according to the King of Salem), every person has a responsibility to pursue his or her Personal Legend. Nothing else can be as important. In doing so, all the things that are significant in life will eventually come to the person who stays focused anyway. When the boy in the story does not spill the oil, he has missed everything around him. If the boy is spilling the oil, he is losing sight of his original goal, losing focus because of the things he sees in the world as he moves about. Soon, his task of carrying the oil safely has been forgotten, and the oil gone—much like the loss of an exceptional opportunity when one is distracted from one's purpose.

The King of Salem is telling Santiago to see all that he can of the world. (This make sense, for how can Santiago follow omens or learn the Universal Language, etc., if he does not observe the world around him?) However, Melchizedek is also reminding Santiago not to be distracted by what he sees so much that he loses sight of his purpose in life: he must maintain a balance on his journey.

What is the best/worst advice you ever got? Why?

damaskus [11]

What is the best/worst advice you ever got? Why?

The best advice I got was to ask for help whenever I need it because I have trouble with that. The worst advice I got was to think more because I do think plenty, I just don't think about the things I'm supposed to be thinking about.

Who do you turn to when you need advice? Why?

My friends and family because I trust them most.

What kind of advice do you normally give others?

I tell them to do whatever makes them happy as long as it doesn't break any rules or anything.

What advice would you give your parents/teachers?

I would tell them to stop giving me so much work to do, but that would be mean, and I might get in trouble for it.
