hi all !
i came across this poem ... in our english text book .... it tells us exactly what our attitude towards life be .. read carefully ...
tell me not , in mournful numbers ,
life is but an empty dream
for the soul is dead that slumbers
and things are not what they seem.
life is real! life is earnest !
and the grave is not its goal
dust thou art to dust returnest
was not spoken of the soul .
not enjoyment and not sorrow
is our destined end or way
but to act that each tommorrow
finds us farther than today .
art is long and time is fleeting
and our hearts though stout and brave
still like muffeled drums are beating
funeral marches to the grave .
in the world's broad field to battle
in the bivouac of life
be not like dumb , driven cattle
be a hero in the strife
trust no future ho'ever pleasant !
let the dead past bury its dead !
act , act in the living present !
heart within and god overhead .!
lives of great men , all remind us
we can make our lives sublime
and departing , leave behind us
footprints on the sands of time .
footprints , that perhaps another
sailing over life's solemn main
a forlorn and a shipwrecked brother
seeing shall take heart again .
so let us then be up , and doing
with the heart for any fate
still achieving , still pursuing
learn to labour , and to wait !
so .... in a matter of a few hours .. it is all going to be declared as to where we will land ...
but frendz .. dont dishearten urself if u dont see ur name in the list ... coz tomorrow is not the end .. it is the beginning ...
toh utho mere sheron ( aur sherniyon :) ) , and become the warrior in the battle called life
wishing each n everyone of u the VERY BEST OF LUCK FOR JEE RESULT N UR FUTURE TO COME !!!!!!!
chak de phatte !
