🖋 The Road Not Taken

By Shen Yang

 

"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;

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."

Robert Frost

 

Ten years ago, I chose a difficult path, and countless people told me I would never make it.

Ten years later, I published my first book "More Than One Child", and proved them all wrong.

My stubborn persistence finally paid off ~

A huge "Thank You" to the few amazing people who believed in me and supported me throughout this difficult journey: this book wouldn't have existed without your help.

感恩, 感谢❤️
