ਇਹ ਕਵਿਤਾ ਰੌਬਰਟ ਫਰੌਸਟ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਲਿਖੀ ਗਈ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ ਸੁੰਦਰ ਕਵਿਤਾ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਬਹੁਤ ਵਧੀਆ ਸੁਨੇਹਾ ਦਿੰਦੀ ਹੈ। ਸਾਡੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਚੋਣ ਬਹੁਤ ਮਹੱਤਵਪੂਰਨ ਹੈ। ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਇੱਕ ਸਹੀ ਚੋਣ ਸਾਡੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਨੂੰ ਵੱਖਰਾ ਬਣਾ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਸਾਡੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਨੂੰ ਬਣਾ ਜਾਂ ਵਿਗਾੜ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇੱਕ ਗਲਤ ਚੋਣ ਸਾਡੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਨੂੰ ਵਿਗਾੜ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ। ਅਸੀਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਕੀਤੇ ਗਏ ਵਿਕਲਪਾਂ ਦੁਆਰਾ ਪਰਿਭਾਸ਼ਿਤ ਹੁੰਦੇ ਹਾਂ।
