Imagine you encounter a situation like this, you are going to attend a ceremonious party held by people in the upper society, and you waver between two choices for which suit you should wear. When you go into the place for the party, you suddently think you should wear another one. Actually it is too late for a coming-out party to attract others' attention.
Take a look at this poem, I think the writer made a wrong choice due to "I shall be telling this with a sigh." At the begining, he looked down both ways. He chose one, but he changed for another day. No one knew if his choice was correct. He went so far as to doubt if he should step into this way. This situation is popular. Everyone may be involved into this situation, alter decision and keep going.
It is not a easy thing to do for choosing a road to go. Even though you can see the begining of it, you do not know how it will continue and alter, which actually depends on your behaviors and thoughts. For us, in the first 20 years of our life, choosing a university to go is a so important choice. I took a program called IB (International Baccalaureate) in my high school. Before coming to the U.S, I applied the universities in the U.S and U.K at the same time. The first acceptance of admission is the University of Edinburgh. After get the letter from the University of Iowa, My father asked me to go to the U.S. At that time, I really wanted to go to England. Finally, I chose to come to Iowa as following my father's thoughts. I never regret not to go to the University of Edinburgh, because I chose this way. What I need to do is to keep going and make the way more suitable for me.
The road should be adjusted for me!!!

Somehow I don't think that the road is going to change to suit you.
The poet made a choice. He didn't change it, though. And it wasn't a popular choice, because he says he chose the "road less traveled by."
I like what you said about how you can cause the road to change by your own attitudes and actions, however. While we can't necessarily see ahead, around the corner where the road turns, we can be confident that we will be able to cope with whatever we encounter.

hey I think it is a cool picture that you got.
The way I am thinking is somehow similar to yours. We made many decisions in our life. Every decision we make will lead us to different paths of life. It's almost true that every path will have its own difficulties. The most importance is we should not look back and regret. Instead, we should take the difficulties and make it work.
You should have go to University of Edinburgh. But depends on what major you are in.
I would like to study in UK too, i miss those real "football culture". EPL makes me miss home.
alright, I'm not gonna waste my precious time on this shi...rewrite the whole thing. I'm just kidding! I cant believe that you actually wrote an long essay on your blog, I think the idea about the poem is on the right direction,and you choose a nice picture, but I dont think the story at the end can demonstrate anything, so rewrite,lol
