It does makes a difference...

Sometimes all you really need is one single event in your life, or a single song, or a single movie, or a simple text message to make a very big difference in your life. Mine was a simple poem. I came across it during High School on my final year as one of those prerequisit public speeches S.I.S. forced us to do in order for us to graduate. Of course having MG (Memory Gap /short term memory) had a big effect on me memorizing the damn thing and issues with speaking infront of large crowds (a dilibitating fear, no less). Though the effect of the poem is still well within me. I thought I should share it to you in hopes that it might have an effect on you like it did with me.

The Road Not Taken
by Robert 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.
