Harley Davidson

And here is an interesting poem that Harley Davidson chose to advertise their bikes...
What do you make of it ?
Age
if I had my life to live over,
I´d try to make more mistakes next time
I would relax,
I would be sillier than I have been this trip.
I know of very few things I would take seriously.
I would take more chances.
I would take more trips.
I would climb more mountains, swim more rivers and watch more sunsets.
I would eat more ice cream and less beans.
I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary ones.
You see, I am one of those people who live prophylactically
and sanely and sensibly,
hour after hour, day after day.
Oh, I have had my moments and, if I had to do
it all over again, I´d have more of them.
In fact, I´d try to have nothing else, just
moments, one after another.
If I had my life to live over,
I´d start bare-footed earlier in the spring and stay that way
later in the fall.
I would play hooky more,
I would ride on more marry-go-rounds.
I´d pick more daisies.

it´s all up to you !

No one is to be blamed for your failures since you pave the way. You may look up to someone. You may even follow in someone´s footsteps. But what happens to you or is left behind is in your hands. Just stop and think: Who makes your decisions ? Who is responsible for the knowledge you acquire or discard ? It´s all up to you !!!
And here is a poem for your reflexion...
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 (was not worn);
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. "
