IF

Read this amazing poem recently... its titled 'IF' and is written by Rudyard Kipling (Yes, the Mowgli wala guy). You can read it at:

Its now been around 45 mins since I started writing this post. My intention was to put down some lines from the poem and give my thoughts on the same.. But this is one of the very few times that words fail me. So what I'll do is just paste my favorite lines here and go to sleep.


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 mster,
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 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!


:)
All have a great week ahead..

Love, NTW,
