"Do not follow where the path may lead... Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." -Robert Frost
Everyone is a traveler, choosing the roads to follow on the map
of their continuous journey, life. There is never a straight path that
leaves one with but a sole direction in which to head. Regardless of
the original message that Robert Frost had intended to convey, his
poem, "The Road Not Taken", has left its readers with many different
interpretations. It is one's past, present and the attitude with which

traveler took this path over the more popular, secure one indicates
the type of personality he has, one that does not want to necessarily
follow the crowd but do more of what has never been done, what is new
and different.
