think about it

JUST WHO WILL YOU BE?

Everyone's life
Is an uncharted course
So go out and live it
Without regret or remorse

As you go down one road
And don't like what you find
Remember it's OK
To just change your mind

Doing only what's easy
Won't break you a sweat
But you also won't learn
Lessons you need to get

The lessons will teach you
What you need to know
To find out who you'll be
And which way you'll go


Will you be a person
Who’s running on greed?
Or will you be the one giving
To people in need?

Will you just collect awards
To put on your shelves?
Or will you help people
Who can’t help themselves?

Think of using your brains
And your talent and youth
To solve difficult problems
To find out the truth

To make this crazy world
A far better place
To make some improvements
For our human race

JUST WHO WILL YOU BE?
That’s the question for you

~ Maria Shriver

The actual poem is much longer. I just took the stanza that really and truly inspired me. The whole poem IS really inspiring but these are the few quotes that somehow speak to me. Well, i better sleep now or I will be late for tomorrows convention on poverty.

Anyway, I got the poem from here: - http://christine-livepassionately.blogspot.com/2008/06/just-who-will-you-be.html
