"How can you get very far,
If you don't know Who you are?
How can you do what you ought,
If you don't know What You've Got?
And if you don't know Which To Do
Of all the things in front of you,
Then what you'll have when you are through
Is just a mess without a clue
Of all the best that can come true
If you know What and Which and Who."
Confusing isn't it? Yes I know. I had to read it several times before I could fully understand it. But Hey, I got it in the end! :)
I think to me it means that, if you don't know what you already have, than how are you ever going to know what you want? I guess, my view on it needs a little work. But it's hard to explain. It's funny because it reminds me how there was this quote that said went something like "we search for the things that are right in front of us." And I don't know if we do or if we don't. But I do see that sometimes, we want so much, that we don't stop and look and see if we already have it right in front of us.
My only question would be, "How do we know who we are?"
Because I'm sure, alot of people have gone pretty far in life, without needing a definition of themselves.
