"The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world,and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon" (Coelho 32).
The wise man enlightens the boy about his surroundings. People end up focusing on a single aspect of life, neglecting the other aspects around them. Some people spend their lives not looking at others' perspectives, resulting in one view of life. In the movie, Click, Adam Sandler focuses on his job and receiving a promotion. His lack in perception symbolizes the drops of oil that he truly focuses on, in order to achieve success. By focusing too much on his drops of oil, he misses the marvels of the world. In the movie, he fast-forwards through life, receiving his promotion, but in return missing out on life. He realizes that he should have focused on his family instead of his promotion. Now, he realizes both aspects of his life, holding onto both, without forgetting their significance.
