Poems about if

Kipling Nobel Prize in Literature winner Kipling wrote a poem "If" to his son 12 years old.

If everyone is in a daze,

You are as calm as a cucumber, not a parrot;

If you are suspected by everyone,

You can be confident as usual and won't argue in vain;

If you have a dream,

Without losing yourself;

If you have a mind,

Not possessed;

If you can't get carried away by success,

Dare to chew the bitter fruit after the disaster;

If you see the beauty you seek shattered into pieces,

Don't say give up;

If you work hard,

It's been a great success,

For new goals,

You still have a chance,

Even if the reputation goes up in smoke;

If you don't change your humility when you talk to the villagers,

Walk with the prince without flattery;

If other people's love can't control you,

With anyone, you can stand out independently;

If confused harassment can't shake your will,

When you can wait for yourself to calm down before you answer ...

Then, your cultivation will be as broad as heaven and earth, and you will become a real man, my son!
