She dwelt among the untroden ways
Beside the springs of Dove
A maid whom there were none to praise and very few to love: ~

Is shining in the sky~
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me

And we have also been told how we use just one per cent of our mind as compared to a genius like Einstein who is said to have used 10 per cent of his brain to develop path-breaking theories in physics. Yet, it is always difficult to broach the subject of promotion with the boss. An approaching maths exam can give you sleepless nights just as much as the final cricket match with the big rivals.
