Road not Taken by the Amercian poet Robert Frost. It is one of my favourites because it is about a univeral of the human condition, the ability to make choices, never knowing for sure what is the best one to make and never knowing for sure how life would have been different if another choice had been made. In my case I turned my back on what was a promising career as a racing cyclist and then, later, an even more promising career in financial services.
“I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence..”
All this, of course, is put in perspective by the immortal Yogi Berra, the erstwhile baseball player, who said:
“When you come to a fork in the road, take it”.
Who needs poetry! Who needs philosphy!
