不凡之路

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.

Robert Frost的這個The Road Not Taken，一直都是我很喜歡的一首詩。

雖然我不能背起整首， 但是我一直記得，

I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

你問我為什麼那麼喜歡這首，因為我覺得我一直都是這樣的一個人。

從以前是，現在也是，我想，在未來也是。

就連我的Facebook，裡面也放著這一句。

或許更應該說，我從小就是這個樣子，不是說什麼跟別人走不同的路，而是走別人不會去走的路。

很多時候，身邊的人問我，為什麼你要這樣那樣？其實說穿了，走你們不會去走的路，才會讓你們注意到我。

難道不是嗎？

讓你們看我如何失敗、如何成功、如何繼續往這一條不平凡的路走。

有者說，失敗，只是暫時沒有成功而已。的確，是一句很激勵人心的話。若是以前的我，一定覺得說的人很有智慧。

但是現在，我比較想知道，若要成功，應該怎樣做？

失敗，只是暫時沒有成功而已。

我絕對贊成。
