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.

Guys I thought this would be a good moment to look back and see whether you have missed any roads that was not taken by choice or intention....chose this poem as it talks about woods and my imagination flew to MCC campus......you are free to speak your mind...AM

Why not apply Frost to our own lives? Good to reflect on the 'roads taken and not taken' - either by choice or accident. Miller, thanks for posting the poem.
Cheers.
good poem,
no regrets.. just keep travelling same road!Where ever, God,life takes us.
Have good thanksgiving week all of u.. with the best in the years to come.
This was my favorite poem in BA. I didn't know much but wondered if I would do the say years from then about my choices.
Having said that, perhaps I should have finished my M.Phil. I could have done Ph.d here and had 5 months off in a year. But I do like my current job, so shouldn't look the gift horse in the mouth. Mmmmm.... What else?
Maha: Never too late to do a PhD. Your library (skills) will be of great help....Plenty of areas to research!
yeah! But I am too lazy now! But I might do something else.
You've got 3-5 years to write a thesis, hmm but you've got courses in the Canadian system. Wish it was research only! Something else? Make sure you get 5 months off per year! Hehe!
Yeah,I'd love that! 6 months on the job and 6 months off - a Persephona at the workplace.
