Finding Your Path...

Here's a poem that i got from The People's Cyber Nation that i found particularly thought provoking...so, think away!


THE FACE IN THE GLASS

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what THAT face has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or spouse
Whose judgment upon you must pass;
The person whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.

Some people might think you are a straight-shootin' chum
And call you a wonderful guy or gal,
But the face in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look it straight in the eye.
That's the one you must please, never mind all the rest,
For that's the one with you clear up to the end.
And you know you have passed your most dangerous test
If the face in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life
And get pats on your back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the face in the glass.


~ Dale Wimbrow ~


...Not bad, eh? Now what do ya think that all means? My view is that it's pretty much saying BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. No-one else is going to know for sure if you are or not, only YOU know if you're "keepin' it real", and following your own path. But hey, that's just me.





Now, here's a lil' contribution by some guy named Mark Twain...apparently he used to write books. Go figure.


"Twenty years from now
you will be more disappointed
by the things you didn't do
than by the ones you did.

So throw off the bow lines.
Sail away from the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover."

- Mark Twain
