... But the clock is ticking by

While I was thinking about what to write for this post, a poem by Robert Frost came to mind . . .

Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound's the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep. ~ "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost (1923)

I guess I have been working on Orkut full time

I am one distracted guy - I realized that its high time I get back to work/ career. So I decided to leave Orkutting tonight after I saw The Incredibles.

One of the most rewarding things about Orkut was that I read a lot again after a long time. Lots of these communities had some impressive discussions, and not to mention I made two new friends and got in touch with a lot of old mates and found a medium to route my thought flow. I was more regularly diving deep into my inner world and penning down my thoughts. Then I realized what Benjamin Mays said - "The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach."

"Young people tell what they are doing, old people what they have done, and fools what they wish to do."

I know I have a lot to do, before I go to sleep and I promise I shall soon take over the world. Now I must get back to work, but I am so afraid to fail. Slowly it dawned unto me that its ok to fail once in a while... but don't let anything bog you down... have high aims - because "If you aim for nothing, you'll hit it every time."

I just read the quote by E. Joseph Cossman – "Obstacles Are Things A Person Sees When He Takes His Eyes Off His Goal." - and finally realized Orkut as a obstacle

I am sure it's not too late... I can achieve what I set out to achieve... remember -- "...it doesn't matter whether you come in first, in the middle of the pack, or last. You can say 'I have finished'. There is a lot of satisfaction in that."
