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.

    This is one of my all time favorite poems, it really speaks volumes about not only my successful career, but the careers of many others within the WA family worldwide.  Going into business for yourself takes lots of hard work. It is a road less traveled and it is so wonderful to enjoy. I continue to blaze my own path.

I love this poem! That is the poem I chose to recite in my 10th grade English class.

Remember doing this for my Junior Cert English Exam...good old Robert
Good for you!
Yes, take a look at the path most people choose to take [it is most likely be the one of least resistance] and then go in the opposite direction
cheers!

Great poem! We all have something to contribute to our society and by travelling the least travelled, we can also discover what that something really is.
