The Road Not Taken---Robert Frost

It's been a couple of days since I updated this blog. Just came back from Chicago for my job search campaign tour and I also met some new contacts. I love Chicago, everything reminded me of what big cities can offer.

Anyway, when I was in the office yesterday, I suddenly thought about this poem by Robert Frost. I came across this poem about 5 years ago becuase Robert Kiyosaki used this poem as a starting point for his best selling book "Rich Dad Poor Dad". At this moment, I understand that I am standing in front of 4 roads diverging in the horizon. Which path should I take? The safe one, or the one less travelled?

Here's the poem and I would like to share it with all of you here:

Robert Frost: The Road Not Taken

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.
