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.

as they say, it's not where the road takes you, it's the journey that counts. how you make of it, that's in your hands ;)
reminds me of my first poem to be analysed in class..like six yrs back with bored proff. Hhehe, anyway, choosing the right path, not travelled by most is definitely a challenge. Strong will and courage will take u there. Best of luck!!

You remind me of my favourite quotes from Alice in the Wonderland..
`If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there.'
