The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. It's my favoriate peom. And probably the only poem that I ever know anyway. It's interesting how the poem speak up people's mind. And have a significant impact. Whenever I have a tough decision to make, a decision probably other people will not fully understand, this poem will pop into my mind. Remind me of some of the values in life and encourage me in a special way.

Robert Frost's known poem: 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;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Had worn them really about the same,
Though as for that the passing there
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
美國詩人 羅勃.佛洛斯特：沒有走的路
黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，只可惜我不能都踏行。
我，單獨的旅人，佇立良久，極目眺望一條路的盡頭，看它隱沒在叢林深處。
於是我選擇了另一條路，一樣平直，也許更值得，因為青草茵茵，還未被踏過，若有過往人蹤，路的狀況會相差無幾。
那天早晨，兩條路都覆蓋在枯葉下，沒有踐踏的污痕：啊，原先那條路留給另一天吧！明知一條路會引出另一條路，我懷疑我是否會回到原處。
在許多許多年以後，在某處，我會輕輕歎息說：黃樹林裡分叉兩條路，而我，我選擇了較少人跡的一條，使得一切多麼地不同。
