Mugging Tips : Part 1

The Road Not Taken

Robert Lee Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;



Then took the other, as just as fair

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that, the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,



And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.



I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Ones will never know how his life would be if he did not lead a present life but choose the other. And, sometimes, I wonder that if I'm no longer a university student nor an educated human, what will I be... working after secondary school life... farming... wandering in shopping complexes and spending daddy-mummy's hard earning... or marrying at the early age and staying at home as a full-timed housewife? I do not know and I think I will never know. There is no turning point. And, I would not want to be like Frost who left the first road and chose the road less traveled. He is brave, as I can say. But, I believe every single decision that I made or the path that I had chosen including my life makes my growth and allows me to discover my own mistakes along the way.

In life, the decision that we made will often receive scowl and disagreement. Strengthening our steps and moving forward steadily are what we can do now.
