I do exercise and post some articles everyday. then I realize it is so boring. I decide to put on some poem on my daily exercise posting. I also hope you have a time to read this poem, I will give the imaginations in your life.
운동을 하며 혹은 운동을 건너뛰며 Why? 매일매일 건강하게 살지 못할까 생각한다. 어떤일을 할때는 동기부여가 필요하다. 목적도 필요하고 그것을 하는 과정중에 얻어지는 기쁨 몰입감이 중요하다. 또한 자신이 이렇게 해냈다라고 스스로를 자랑하는 자존감 또한 중요하다. 알라딘이 나에게 그러하다. 그런데... 매일 운동을 하고 사진을 한장 첨부하는 것은 무척이나 단조롭고 재미가 없다. 오늘 운동을 하며 생각했다. 어떻게 하면 그 단조로움을 극복하고 자신에게 도움이 되는 무엇을 할 것인가? 일단 생각해낸것은 "시"다. 하루에 포스팅을 하나씩 하고 직접 시를 읽고 즐기며 두뇌의 상상력까지 개발한다면 그야말로 최고가 아닐까 생각한다.

Growing
Old by Matthew Arnold
What
is it to grow old?
Is it to lose the glory of the form,
The lustre of the
eye?
Is it for beauty to forego her wreath?
Yes, but not for this
alone.
Is it to feel our strength—
Not our bloom only, but our
strength—decay?
Is it to feel each limb
Grow stiffer, every function less
exact,
Each nerve more weakly strung?
Yes, this, and more! but
not,
Ah, 'tis not what in youth we dreamed 'twould be!
'Tis not to have
our life
Mellowed and softened as with sunset-glow,
A golden day's
decline!
'Tis not to see the world
As from a height, with rapt
prophetic eyes,
And heart profoundly stirred;
And weep, and feel the
fulness of the past,
The years that are no more!
It is to spend long
days
And not once feel that we were ever young.
It is to add,
immured
In the hot prison of the present, month
To month with weary
pain.
It is to suffer this,
And feel but half, and feebly, what we
feel:
Deep in our hidden heart
Festers the dull remembrance of a
change,
But no emotion—none.
It is—last stage of all—
When we are
frozen up within, and quite
The phantom of ourselves,
To hear the world
applaud the hollow ghost
Which blamed the living man.
