Thanks for those words of welcome. I really appreciate it :) .
About the first sentence, well, I wanted to express the fact that progress lies ahead ( ahead like when saying.. in the future, in starting new things, walking through yet unkown paths, taking risks thus determining the possibility for things to happen, for plans to succeed). On the contrary: behind, as when a driver is looking at the rear mirror, well, only memories do remain there... memories of good old times. The side the rear mirror reflects stays always the same... unmodified... never changing...nor improving... frozen in time. Here... can we see how life holds in itself these aspects ? When someone is alive.... for me (personally) it means opportunity in itself..in every way. And when life stops, for me it is the side at which the rear mirror is facing... a place where everything stays forever like it, and where opportunity is present no more (opportunity to change yourself and your environment in a positive way, if you are willing to). And here is how this connects with the phrase in brackets that this post strives to answer :) : the moment you focus on past times " or travel to the land of happy memories", you will likely feel secure and confortable. This could contribute on dropping off doing, or quitting, if unfortunately you have not developed on yourself enough strength of will to move ahead towards reaching your plans and motivations no matter what happens.
Focusing on the prize, on what you could achieve, can be motivational and at the same time inspiring for surpassing difficult times.

Hi dear Mauricio ... First I should pass a warm welcome to you to be a star in the sky of MyEC...This club is a real wonderland...Hope you to enjoy your residence here ...
Second ,welcome to this group as well ...We will be glad to see your comments and discussions here ...
Finally ,last but not least ...Thanks a lot for your reply here ...Yeah ,Frost seems that had a life full of difficult moments ...So he must have got to know many facts in his life passing through the troubles ... Here in your reply I have a question if you don't mind explaining a bit to me ... "So don´t let a problem/obstacle stop you(nor think about going back to remembering good old times)" What the sentence in the parenthesis mean ? Nor think about going back to remembering good old times?? You mean not to think about memories ?? Oh ...I guess I got it now ...It means that being pleased and content with the old situations which were safe and good ...This is the obstacle which won't let you improve and lead ...It may keep you from turning to be the best you deserve to be...It may also mean that one must dare to face difficulties ...To take risks....Am I right??
I also liked this phrase which I extract here ...It is a golden one ... "life.. you.. a member of the living being kingdom"...Do you like to elaborate this part ??"living being kingdom" ...Is living an adj for the being ...??? Meaning that this being must be alive and on the go ??? Life goes on ...Really nice quote ...
Anyhow,thanks a million for your nice reply ...Your words are golden too ...You could explain the quote nicely ...
Have a nice on-the-go and hectic life :)

I found that Robert Frost's life had had several unfortunate events ( info about his life is available every in the internet) , and that he started facing these events when he was only 11, the moment in his life at which his father died from tuberculosis. Therefore, Robert Frost must have learned a fact of life which I have done my best to express here: life moves forward...if your left foot lags behind, help yourselft with the right foot and move ahead. Problems are not supposed to stop us.. they exist to resolve them and cut through them, in this sense they are meant to improve us, making us better persons than who we were before. So don´t let a problem/obstacle stop you(nor think about going back to remembering good old times)... encourage yourself ( life.. you.. a member of the living being kingdom) to find the way through it and surpass it towards improvement and in the direction of the rewards that really matter (to go on, to overcome the obstacle.. move forward).

It goes on ;goes on ;goes on ...continuous ...no matter what you think about life ...no matter you try to stop it ....It is to be continued ...It is destined to continue forever ....
It is continuous no matter you try to measure it by a watch or by the times you inhale and exhale ...It is a non-stop process ...No matter you can catch up with it or not ,it goes on ...So decide to get a ride on it or you will...Nothing ...again your life goes on ...goes on ...goes on...
It is the meaning of life which we all know ...
We know all about life ,don't we???
Yes,You are life,Never wait to see how it goes on. :)
Time is not to be there making you feel worried about how it might be going on!
Time is a nonsense that has nothing to do with life and how it goes on.
