RUDYARDKIPLING
1865-1936
He was an English short-
story writer, poet, and
novelist. He wrote tales
and poems of British
soldiers in India and
stories for children. He
was born in Bombay, in
the Bombay
Presidency of British
India, and was taken by
his family to England
when he was five years
old.
In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel
Prize in Literature, making him the
first English-language writer to
receive the prize, and its youngest
recipient to date
"If you cross-examine a child of
seven or eight on his day’s
doings (specially when he wants
to go to sleep) he will contradict
himself very satisfactorily. If each
contradiction be set down as a lie
and retailed at breakfast, life is
not easy. I have known a certain
amount of bullying, but this was
calculated torture—religious as
well as scientific. Yet it made me
give attention to the lies I soon
found it necessary to tell: and
this, I presume, is the foundation
of literary effort"
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your
master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
“IF”
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.
