The Road Not Taken

Photobucket

The Road Not Taken - Reminded of this poem learnt in Form 4 few days ago.

After a long consideration, I decided not to resit IELTS for 3rd time because I feel really annoyed. Instead I had requested for a remark of my previous paper but the chance are very slim. So entering Melbourne University is no longer my priority choice.

On the other hand, I decided to apply for RMIT without using my IELTS as Darryl proposed. Still, this is also a try luck method.

Spent hours staring at the ceiling every night before sleep these days to think of my future plans. What if my attempt to apply for RMIT's Engineering Degree fail? Should I take RMIT's Associate Degree, which doesn't appeal me because it sounds like Diploma level? Or should I take twinning program in Malaysia? If so, which local institute should I go?


I have reached in front of a junction, and I need to make a hard decision.
A choice that makes my life completely different,
yet my knowledge to choose is not sufficient.
I look down the roads as far as I can, but all of them seem to be the same.
Which road actually suit me most? I hope somebody can tell me that.
This is the point of no return, and I need to make a hard decision.

天无绝人之路

Life's not just about studying, it's about being a person, a wholesome being, and surely a person who has quality and wisdom. Knowledge may seem to be the starting point, but it may not too, since knowledge only gives us a job, and thus far. Wisdom is what we pursue, which moulds what we are.

Don't worry YY. You can ask ZW, I still doubt I'm studying the right course. But if we take ourselves out of the world, we can easily make a decision: a choice that moulds us so that we excel in our future. I'll pray for you. :)

I want to clarify that by saying "take ourselves out of the world", i mean that we should think on a broader view.. not suicide.. XD

BTW, engineering is something beyond what I'm expecting. It's more than just sciences and arithmatics.. it's STUPID

darryl said...

oh, by STUPID i mean that engineers are the brains behind technologies, but they are never known.. The marketeers are the ones who are in the limelight, and engineers do stupid things that helps people to get rich, .. but in another way, I see that Engineers are the 'silent contributors'..

Sorry for spamming.. i just cant help explaining my vague sentences

I love this poem. The title is often misremembered by me as "The Road Diverged"

Anonymous said...

this poem is could but what i realy want to know is what inspired you to write a poem like this and why did you call it the road not taken but also this is a great poem to tell you the truth.

WhyWai said...

The Road Not Taken was written by Robert Frost (1920)
Not my pal... :)
