Looking at the study loans and my current financial status, do a little simple-simple maths, I simply can't see how my life would be a easy-breeze one.
Houses nowadays is about 1M, cars about 100K... not even factor in retirement and maybe family expenses... everything just seems impossible to achieve in short time, before I'm turning 40/50.
Sometimes when I look at people who has already succeeded, regardless the path they took, it just makes me wonder... am I missing any opportunities that lies ahead? I don't want to end up 10 years down the road and regret that I didn't force myself to grab that choice.
The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost is exactly my feeling now.
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 marked 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.
