“IF”
Rudyard Kipling
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 you can make a 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!
- Now, everyone read the poem aloud. (the students read the poem aloud)
- the poem, “IF” is that the speaker of this
poem loves the word “If.” He loves it so much
he uses it 13 times. In a poem that’s only 32
lines, that’s nearly every two lines.
- is basically an instruction manual for how
to be “a man,” at least according to the
speaker. It is basically 30 lines of “if you do
this, and if you don’t do that,” followed by two
lines at the end that explain everything.
- “IF”: a simple, two-letter title, and one
that does and does not tell us a whole lot about
the poem. When we come across this simple
little title, our immediate reaction is naturally,
“If what?” This is because “if” is one of those
words that really needs a friend, some other
words to go with it.
- Here’s the other thing about the word “if.”
It usually describes something that isn’t real, or
isn’t real yet. It points to something could
potentially happen, or potentially exist.
