The "IF" Poem by Rudyard Kipling

[maestros1987]

i think kurz agrees with the photojournalist

[jackanitosanthony]

i fucking hate this poem

[jcnithyahere]

"And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'" - classic!

[6billiondeaths]

"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 breathe a word about your loss"

the ability to take risk (a key to truly live life) and to embrace failure, which is ultimately, as human as love and compassion... and still maintain your own honour... thats why i love this line, because it conjours up all of these thoughts, it sums up the imperfections of man.. and the greatness of those imperfections

that's why we should kill the pride before it kills the dream

[mado9111]

well you summed up what we should do exactly on our short journey on earth.

to simply kill our pride.

As pride is the main cause of all sins..it's like the root

[mado9111]

yes pride kills it rather than protects it.

[mado9111]

protect your dream..

even if you have to write your words with your own blood..
