The road not taken

Daisy

Today I watched a really touching short video.

It consists of five scenes, and each scene has two direction signs, representing two different paths.

In the first scene, the child wants to go to the amusement park, but on the other side is his interest class.

The child is extremely eager to go to the amusement park, but his father tells him, 'Study comes first.'

Although disappointed, the child follows his father's advice and heads towards the interest class.

In the second scene, after the college entrance examination, the boy is faced with a choice of majors: photography or accounting.

He prefers photography.

He dreams of becoming a backpacker and taking pictures of the beautiful scenery around the world.

However, his mother thinks photography is not reliable and suggests that he choose accounting first.

She says it's not too late to learn photography after his career and family are stable.

Although regretful, the boy follows his mother's advice and chooses accounting.

In the third scene, a couple.

The boy has saved some money and wants to buy a camera and a motorcycle to take his girlfriend to Tibet.

But his girlfriend thinks the money should be saved for a down payment on a house and getting married.

She believes that after getting married, they will still have plenty of time and opportunities to go to Tibet together.

Eventually, the boy follows his girlfriend's advice and saves the money to prepare for buying a wedding house.

In the fourth scene, on one side is playing ball, and on the other side is family.

This is a couple who have been married for many years.

The wife only cares about daily necessities and is worried that the price of meat is getting more and more expensive.

The husband feels that life is a bit boring and wants to play ball with his friends.

That day, he has made an appointment with his long - lost friends to play ball.

But his wife tells him that their daughter is about to take the final exam and needs him to go home to help with her homework.

The wife also mentions that they still have a lot of unfinished things to do.

She suggests that the husband has plenty of time to get together with his friends and can make an appointment next time.

Eventually, the husband follows his wife's advice and goes home to help with homework, while the wife is in charge of cooking.

In the fifth scene, it tells the story of a father and daughter.

The old father has always been eager to climb the mountain, but his daughter is worried about his physical condition.

First, his knees are not good, and second, he is old. She persuades him to give up this idea.

The old man is full of complaints and sighs that he has always had 'next time, next time' in his life, leaving too many regrets.

He feels that his time is running out and he doesn't want to miss this time.

He wants to firmly follow his own path. So, he decides to climb the mountain resolutely.

After saying that, he walks alone in the direction of the mountain.

The daughter tells him to walk slowly behind him. But after walking a few steps, the old man accidentally falls.

The daughter quickly steps forward to help him and finally persuades him to go home together.

The old man can only go back with his daughter helplessly.

Through these five short videos, I feel deeply. No matter how we choose in this life, there will always be regrets.

If we choose the left path, we may regret not choosing the right one;

if we choose the right path, we may miss the left one.

It's often difficult to balance dreams and responsibilities.

So, no matter which path we choose, we should be firm in our choice, not hesitate, and not regret.

Keep looking forward. Don't look left and right.

At last, I will share with you my favorite poem 'The Road Not Taken'."
