Miles to go before I sleep

how do you react when you feel inadequate or under qualified? When more effort than you have ever imagined you are capable of, doesn't get you results that are even half as satisfactory! What am I doing wrong you ask?
Its a crushing thought, the thought of having to accept mediocracy. But just when it seems like a long dark tunnel, wisdom shines in four bright lines......

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.


Life may not have prepared you for this in terms of knowledge to deal with it. But life has given you emotional strength to look at things calmly, the will to work harder and smarter, the intellect to analyse what's going wrong, the good fortune of having people around that are ready to help.

Life continues to give hope and on that hope one must walk....to the last mile!

Or treat life like a walk in the woods, where it doesn't matter where you reach but the walk itself is fun filled...
Sometimes I wonder whether that is what he tried saying (I mean Mr. Frost):
The woods are lovely dark and deep
But I have promises to keep
And miles to go before I sleep
(and then it dawns on him what he was saying and he smiles and nods to himself and says)
And miles to go before I sleep!

True, life could just be a walk in the woods But we have all made promises that need us to walk right through the woods and out into the open......so miles to go...
