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.
未选择的路
作者:罗伯特·弗罗斯特(美)

黄叶树林中岔开两条路,
可惜我不能两条都走。
我一个旅人久久地驻足,
极目去寻一条的尽头,
它转了弯没入灌木深处。
当然我选择另外一条路,
因为这似乎更加合理,
那里满是青草盼人光顾。
相比以前人们的足迹,
哪条人多实在没有分殊。
清晨两路同有落叶遮掩,
叶子尚未遭太多踩践。
想留第一条路来日再选,
可此路彼路条条相连,
一经此去实在难以回转。
多年之后某地回忆当初,
讲起此事我会轻声叹:
当年面对林中的两条路,
我把那条少人走的拣,
所有的一切皆由此而铸。
吃好晚饭出去散步,走到公园里眼前有两条路通往不同的景点,犹豫了一下,我往左边走了。就是在这犹豫的一刹那想起来这首著名的诗歌,感觉人生其实不也就是这样,每天我们都在各种大大小小的选择。往小里说,一日三餐吃什么,穿什么衣服去上班,坐公交车或者地铁时选择哪个位置;往大里说,考大学的志愿填写,毕业之后到哪个地方工作,选择什么样的人成为自己的朋友或者终身伴侣,每天是按时睡觉还是熬夜刷手机,有一个挑战是退缩还是往前冲... ...林林总总,不一而足。可以说,每时每刻我们都在选择。而这些选择,就构成了我们的人生。
下班回到家吃外卖,耍手机,窝在沙发里看剧到半夜,这是一种选择。而另一种人会自己在下班途中带点菜回来,下厨房自己制作简单的晚餐之后看书、学习、或者运动,早睡早起。这是另一种选择。一天两天看不出太大区别,甚至前者会感觉更有吸引力。这是天长日久,两种生活方式的差别渐渐显现。第一种人就慢慢的躺平,失去任何的竞争力,最后可能就会被时代抛弃,而第二种积极主动的人才能够掌握自己的人生。
写到这里拖延症患者也要赶紧争取去睡觉了。。。
