...Made All the Difference.
I like listening to other people's
perspective towards different issues in life. I get inspired when several
people confirm and commend my choices. I feel bad and empathetic to listen to
the ill choices that others made but I get inspired not to dare make wrong
ones.
We are who we are by
the choices we make and have made, I could have chosen to watch a documentary
and keep the little I know about choices. The famous, "choices have consequences"
slogan is very true, though those that coined this made it sound like the
consequences were to be detrimental, get over that context. The consequences of
our choices will either be positive or negative.
Before making a choice I consider the
following;
Ø Is it in harmony with
my beliefs?
Ø Will it give the
desired results?
Ø What will be the
worst case scenario?
If the answer to any of the questions above has
doubts, I have to rethink of alternatives.
A t times, if not most of the time, a choice
can even mean taking a path less taken, like one of my lecturers said, ’When
everyone is going east try west’
Robert Frost poem,’The Road Not Taken’ sums it up on making a bold
move that many opt not .Whether others approve of it or not, It could be the
best choice you’ve ever made.
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.
