Day 11

Life is all about experiences. Types of people and personalities(be they single or multiple in the one person), places(both far and close to home) and moments.
Yesterday, I was reminded that it takes all types for the world to revolve.....And it is both the positive and negative experiences that makes us who we are and who ultimately we become.
My father once said, "You, appreciate things more if you have to work for them, and work he did." I have always adopted this ethos in life. Putting your heart, mind and soul into something you feel passionately about and achieving an end result be it good or bad is rewarding, not only for the experience you gain in achieving it but also in the appreciation of the road you take to get to the end result.
Robert Frost once wrote:

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, 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

Words that I live by.........
