One of the best poems that I love and cherish is Robert Forst, "The Road Not Taken"
"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.
...
..."
I am not writing this to discuss the poem or try to understand what Mr.Forst meant.
The reason is that this week I decided to take a road, which I know is not so less travelled. The road called entrepreneurship.
"The road is not without
Speed bumps
Dangerous curves
Vicious animals
Bottomless ravines
Many have taken that road
Most have given up
At the first bum
Still more have been consumed
By the ravines and animals
Some have made it
Only to realize, it
Has cost them everything
The few who have made it
Have had the perseverance
To rise up after every fall
To rise up after every defeat
Because they want
To fight this for another day
The few who have made it
Did it not
For the wealth or accolade
But for the spirit
Succeeding and fulfilment
I want to be that few
I dream to be that few
I dared to dream"

Check out "The E-Myth Revisited" when you get a chance, I think you'll really enjoy it.
That's very very deep and inspiring! Good for you and congrats again, on the road not so less traveled!
