“The Road Less Taken”
 “I
shall be telling this with a sigh
 Somewhere ages and ages hence;
 Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
 I took the one less traveled by,
 And that has made all the difference.”
Articulation:
The
ability to take a very simple
goal and turn it into a
complicated, complex, burden
ridden, no one to blame
process, that no one
understands or can navigate,
with no victors or losers.
