Be Your Best, Give Your Best!

Heard of crossroads? These are “road signposts” that tell you where each road leads to. You come to that junction, and if you want to proceed you have to make up your mind as to which road you want to follow.

- Sr Esme Da Cunha

I consider this as a symbol of some crucial point in one’s life when one has to make a decision: this way or that? Which place, which school, what course, which career? Life goes on like this!

I feel that at almost every moment of life, we are at a crossroads. We have to keep making decisions continually, seemingly insignificant ones and really important ones. We have choices before us and we have to choose between them. Life is never a straight path!

Another metaphor explains life as ‘unravelling’ — like unrolling a carpet. You see its complete design only when it is fully unrolled. Or climbing mountains: you climb one range and then you see another one ahead of you!
