Upside To the Downside

There's often an upside to the downside
of taking the wrong fork in the road.
Everything you thought or were taught,
might be be for naught, 
if you insist on doing things your way.
But.. you could rise above the fray.
Then doubters might say,
they helped pave the way
for the genius,
they claim,
was their friend.

'if you insist on doing things your way. .....Then doubters might say, they help pave the way...'. A marvelous reality. Man must stand tall in decision making and ignore 'doubters'.
