4. Reading: Roads Not Taken
Life is full of choices, and every choice closes a door. I often think about the paths I didn't take. If I had applied for the scholarship three years ago, I would have studied in London now. If I hadn't been so afraid of failure, my life would have taken a very different direction.
My friend Deniz took the risk I didn't. She moved abroad at eighteen with very little money. If she hadn't been so brave, she would never have become the architect she is today. If I were more like her, I would have made bolder choices back then.
The poet Robert Frost wrote about "the road not taken." I wish I had taken more risks. If only I had trusted myself more. But regret is only useful if it teaches us something. From now on, I intend to be bolder. As they say: it is never too late to begin.
