Rudyard
Kipling gained renown throughout the world as a poet and storyteller
well before any of us were born. He was born on Dec.30, 1865, in Bombay in India, and he
learned Hindi from his nurse, and he also learned stories of jungle animals. At six,
he was sent to school in England but he returned to India as an adult and became a
journalist. In 1889, he again returned to England and wrote the famous Jungle Book
stories. He also wrote the following poem.
If
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 imposters 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 wornout tools;
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 breath 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!

What wisdom do you think Rudyard Kipling is
talking about in his poem ?
What words of wisdom or advice do you think
you would give to your children ?
Do you think the world they will grow up in
will be the same or different to the
What changes do you think will be made ?
What will remain the same ?
