Change is impossible and the Journey must continue

Explanation:

Santiago learns that change is not possible. The merchant is a bad-tempered fellow who dislikes change. But Santiago has known that change is necessary if the merchant is to gain success. Santiago is determined not to put off his goal. Though the Merchant is a devout he has yet to pay a visit to Mecca. Santiago, on other hand, has known that he should continue his journey even if the Merchant does not go. Santiago learns what language he should use for a successful business of crystal. Unlike the Merchant, Santiago has understood that dreams are not fulfilled if a person waits too long.
