Man in the mirror

I always try my best to deserve what I get and believed in being righteous according to my own conscience. And I realized it may not be always the one that everyone accepts though. Sometime back, one of my fellow blogger -one of those friends without a face - had written to me about looking into your eyes and having a smile on your face. Probably very true - at the end of the day, all that matters is a hard days sleep without any worries and I'm happy where I'm today and what I have but I also believe in

"Miles to go before I sleep..." - the ever motivating lines of R.Frost for me that keeps me going at every phase of my life.

Man in the Mirror

When you get all you want and you struggle for self,
and the world makes you king for a day,
then go to the mirror and look at yourself
and see what that man has to say.

For it isn't your mother, your father or wife
whose judgment upon you must pass,
but the man, whose verdict counts most in your life
is the one staring back from the glass.

He's the fellow to please,
never mind all the rest.
For he's with you right to the end,
and you've passed your most difficult test
if the man in the glass is your friend.

You can fool the whole world,
down the highway of years,
and take pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
if you've cheated the man in the glass.
