'WINTER'S ROADS' [See Post Below]
MORE QUESTIONS TO PONDER UPON

Having written your reflection essays on the Poem 'Winter's Roads', it is perhaps appropriate now that you ponder upon the following questions (to be discussed in class):

1) In our life journeys, will slowing down one's pace of life and smelling the roses along the way not distract us from a more purpose-driven life? Will it not result in a lazy and laidback lifestyle that will assign us to the category of the 'non-achievers'?

2) What do you understand by the concept of 'smelling the roses in life's journey', and the concept of 'embracing and enjoying life'?

3) How can we live LIFE to the fullest, so that we would not lament, when we die, that we had not lived?
