It was after the CAT exam in 2004, when a member of the faculty from Roots Education, the coaching centre I was enrolled in for CAT, reminded us again of this little, marvelous piece called Ithaka...I came by it again today while visiting a friend's orkut profile...
.
Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you're destined for.
But don't hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you're old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you've gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.
Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now...
.
A valuable learning, and such simple simple way of putting it...
