IF- BY RUDYARD KIPLING

Rudyard Kipling, one of the most


famous poets of the late British
Empire, published "If—" in his 1910
book Rewards and Fairies.
The poem's persona advises his son to live with
restraint, moderation, and composure. The son
should always keep his wits about him, never
overreacting; he should learn to be confident without
being vain, accept hardships without dwelling on
them, and behave with dignity. Living this way will
make the son a “true man”, the persona suggests.
Thank You!
See you next time!
