- If by Rudyard Kipling narrated by Tom O' Bedlam.
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 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;
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!

I have always been a fan of Rudyard Kipling
I'm 9 years old I love it wow my first book I read was jungle book . at litreture we only learn about jungle book
I wish sometimes that my father had led me to a brighter path than the one he settled for.
But perhaps it was the lack of a map that allowed me to find the things he never could.
As great men send their sons aloft, and lessor men to toil,
It is by chance that we gain what is inherent, and by choice that we make our own.
Tim Hallas whoever you are, wherever you are ... Thanks!
What was that? Are you quoting someone? Is this a poem by someone? Or did *you* write it? If you did then you have a way with words. I am going to jot it down somewhere.
Bravo👏👏👏🌹Very lovely & beautifully written.
Very nice.
Tim Hallas
Love it
Rudyard Kipling's one of the best poems!!!! Great!!!
This mind blowing poem was in our class 10th's syllabus. What an inspiring poem!!
One of the most inspiring poem and beloafing the life very authentically.
What a beautiful and heart wrenching poem of TRUTH!!!
I learned this poem at school when I was a child and it has taught me a moral code of conduct. Grazie.
I'm having a very bad weekend, I feel overwhelmed in work, I'm alone working in a foreign country where I dont speak the language. I'm single and a virgin at 32. I have to work thanklessly all weekend on to catch up on some work I badly planned and i'm behind on. I have a sick family member in the hospital back home. I cried a bit listening to this.
This is so brilliantly written and has so much lesson to understand in each and every lines 🙏🏽
This could be inspirational for a Superman intro. When I read this Poem by Kipling over 10 years ago, it didn't get everything across like hearing it does.
First time i`ve listened to this and it`s touched me,very beautiful,strong words
Every line of the poem resonates in my bones.
Beautiful words from a Master to his Lewis.
I memorized this as a kid. It makes total sense now.
superb recitation if this masterpiece
Amazing poem.. We even studied it at school💙💙
Just the kind of push I need in my stressful locldown life.
Very nice piece! Give a peaceful mind.
One of best, as for me.
While some of these can be accomplished, the entire thing is a Huge Task.... I still believe even achieving a part of it is better than not doing any of it
Supriti Phani it is advice for men
Not just a poem ❤
"If all men count with you; but none too much"

and ...
"If neither loving friend not foe can hurt you..."
How many times we fall on our faces because of failing these two points!
I love poetry
One of my favourites ❤️
Best! в школе учили американскому английскому, спасибо за субтитры.
I play Holst's Jupiter to this and read this to my grade 6 students.
This poem is a summary of "Bhagwat Geeta".

Beautiful
Aapki poem. Amazingg
Legend See this video one hour before the exam 💥
And I took the road less traveled by ...
wonderful !! you'll never make it all the way through, otherwise you'd be canonized. but you can try.
Words of Bhagwat Gita🙏
If you can live without trying to live, like you breath without being conscious of breathing.
If you can fly without laying claim on the wings, nor the winds.
If you can speak without trying to be wise
If you can float without being conscious of floating, like the Earth and the mighty sun and stars, for in your absence is the presence and the presents. All efforts you make are to please the herd and be of some relevance in their eyes, but to be a spectacle, you lose your vision, and go through life blinded.
if only this poem applied to politicians and elected leaders of state!!!!!
Beautiful. Is this the voice of Oddie?
I've read "You'll be a Man, my Son," on Reader's Digest over 2 decades ago that Rudyard Kipling wrote this poem for his son, John. Who was enlisted and died during a war. Years later, Mr. Kipling received a parcel from France of his book "Kim" which was ridden by a bullet hole. When he read the letter it came with, it explained that his book saved the life of the person who sent him the package. As a sign of gratitude, that French soldier named his newborn son, Jean, in honor of Mr. Kipling's deceased son and he also made Mr. Kipling the Godfather of Jean. Every single time that I would come across this poem, I am reminded of the purpose it existed, that Rudyard Kipling wrote it to encourage his son.
Wow that's deep dude. Wonderful story
This is beautiful...thank you...it adds so much more depth to a poem that I have always associated with my own dear father...who loved poetry...and loved to share his favorites..."So I still hear his voice" ♡
He gave this poem to my son, his
grandson at graduation...
Edit this and add:
"...and gained a son with it."
Much more poetic.
Just beautiful
bluzshadez thanks for the information dude
"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
And treat those two impostors just the same..."
alabhaois It can never be learned by everyone winning a trophy
This lines kept me humble
Stunning..this is exactly what we need to aim for
Enlightenment!
Really deep.
When I was in the sixth grade, the teacher gave us the first four points to memorize and recite in front of the class. My father caught me practicing the homeworks. Dad insisted that I memorize the whole thing. When it was my turn, the teacher was appalled when I continued on with the rest of the poem, while the class asked where the rest of it had come from.
Always feels great to do something more than the ordinary....
This poem is so inspiring so deep sad to know he lost his son during war the
@Fatima Ramjoo I hope you learned your lesson.
@Fatima Ramjoo 😂😂😂
The appalled... erm... teacher [sic] would fit perfectly in the retarded indoctrination system we have been conditioned into calling an 'education'; they would feel at home in any British school that has the new suffix of 'Academy'... synonymous with shit establishments (by design!)...
Just one line to resurrect me,
"If you can dream and not make dreams your master".
It resonates with me the most as well
I feel you.
can someone explain what this means? thanks
@@onlyrain5306 Don't feel too disappointed even if the question you long remains unanswered.(with my little knowledge of art)
Human tendencies has no bound. It's fine to put your efforts in achieving your goal but then again its better sometimes to let things go. We have a knack for chasing after the things forbidden to us and without appreciating what we have. So this pretty line vocals a wishful thinking that only if a mind can bear a beautiful imagination without wrecking things to achieve it foolishly.
@@reshmarai9425 thank u
Remembering my pop, who gave me this poem when my personal and professional life went to hell. You're long gone, Dad. But I did it! I made it!
Bravo.
I love this and it was met with a tear. Thank you and congrats.
Wooooow ...... congrats 🙏you will still make it,it is just a matter of consistency
HES PROUD! 💖
Greatest poem ever written in my humble opinion. It has served me so well.
Desiderata....
Read freedom by tagore.
Please see my comments.
Yes you are correct.
It is great!
scottthefunk I agree
"If you can keep your head, when all around you, are losing their's and blaming it on you"
Wow.

This is very powerful. I would like to dedicate these words to two well known people who these words are speaking to right now.
My favorite line
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you.
Fits with that covid hysteria 100 %. t. 0 masks, 0 jabs, 0 tests, fuck you all retarded sheep.
My beloved husband passed peacefully in his sleep last week, he was only 51. I remember him often listening to this poem and it’s so poignant it will be read at his funeral in tribute to him and for his sons who he loved dearly 💔RIP my darling til we meet again x
So sorry for your loss ! May your heart heal.
I’m sorry for your loss. Take good care of yourself.
The poem was a part of our wall hangings, a must in every cadet's cabin in the National Defence Academy.
I also see this poem written in big bold letters while going first floor in 24 SSB bangalore
Wow..so like was it a rule to have it on walls by the academy???
Every line of this great poem is a 'Master stroke', it captures the essence of life with very few words.
My daughters and I listen to this poem at least once a month while eating breakfast, then we talk about how it applies to us currently. It is an amazing way to start the day.
A poem that MUST be read to everyone, especially children
Rami Mahmoud I had it im my test
Definitely not.
Everyone that knows English duhhhh 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
ok boomer
Learned it 70 years ago as a child and it is forever meaningful, thank you Rudyard Kipling
Some years ago my grandad asked that when he died if I would read this at his funeral. Was a favorite poem of his from Rudyard Kipling written to his son John. Rudyard probably never imagined when he wrote this for his son in 1910 that his son would be dead 5 years later in the trenches on the western front. I never imagined I would be reciting a poem for my grandad, whose name was also John, when he passed last year. But it was a privilege nonetheless.
MDR this poem was written in circa 1895, before his son was born, it was published in 1910. The one you're thinking of is my boy jack. And there is controversy over whether that poem is actually about his son or not
@@AIRSOFTRAIDERS1 glad to know that and thank you for your knowledge sir
Hope he flies high
This poem really touched my heart 4 years ago and I was just 12 back then, now that i'm 16 this poem means so much more to me, it's a masterpiece ❤
Godspeed young man 🙏🏻
This is the kind of person we need in leadership. "In being lied about, not deal in lies."
Good thing hillary lost.
SilkyJay86 hahahahaha
Could you please elaborate more on this sentence, please? I am not a native English speaker, hence, can't get the meaning of it.
Kalpana Singh Solanki someone who is lied about, but does not lie himself
Poignant. Beautiful. Touching. Classic. Inspiring.
Even now, after all these years.
I won first prize in elocution by reciting this poem ...
This poem is very inspiring...
People have criticised this man for being a product of his time & dismissed his works because of it. And in doing so they are missing out on some fine words & some deep insights.
Like the White Man's Burden...
I read Rudyard Kipling to my daughters when they were young and they just loved his poetry and books. These ‘woke’ people really annoy me. They are entitled to their opinion but not to impose or distort their views on everyone else. It’s so ridiculous to judge people by today’s standards in a totally different world.
Except Kipling was also judged by his contemporaries for being an open reactionary,much like H.P Lovecraft.I do love Kiplings work,but it is possible to love his work but also to dislike the man he was.
@@md.shihabsharar8753 absolutely.
Very well said.
I recited this for a competition I won the 1st prize❤ so good to hear this again
Heart touching words from you
Hatsf
Fida
You have good heart
My heartfully wishes to you
👍
Wow, skills!
God! The fact his son 'Jack' died such a young age, makes it all the more.. hauntingly beautiful :')
It's Jean... Ive' heard.
@@nickrameau938 no, it was jack. A nic name for John. His son was too near sighted and too short to be in the military, but Kipling was determined that his son serve ( even though HE never did) and to make his father happy , so was the son. Jack got a commission and never asked of his men anything that he would or could not do himself and was greatly respected in his own right...not a Kipling's son, as it started out to be. But his glasses broke in combat and he couldn't see to protect himself. Kipling was a jingoist and many of his poems and stories were "white man's burden " sorts. I think the death of his son opened his eyes, at least a bit. Jingoism was the fashion those days but Kipling did help it along.
The embodiment of all the qualities that men aspire too, courage, wisdom, humility, honour, indefatigable perseverance ,in the face of overwhelming odds. These qualities are timeless. The true definition of a man.
Until I stumbled upon this magnificent, distinguishable and poignant poem, I didn't really understand the priceless value a poet is.
To take in every word that forms into a sentence of pure clarity, stirs my mind of memories past and dreams and hopes that never happened.
This caused me to change my life. ♥♥
me too.
Me too
No the poem didn't you did that . Your life is ever changing
For the better I hope
Really; then you are great. But I couldn't
Most influential poem of my life! Can't imagine where I'd be without this in my life
never liked memorizing poems , but im glad i tried with this one. keeps me grounded. keeps me moving.
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.
The Motiv8 my favourite phrasing - good pin !! :P

The Motiv8 i
Oh no...I think I hit the wrong button...I can’t find a reply I had seen...😬
Probably not achievable by many of us.
Love this poem. One of my favorites. Learnt it by heart, when I was young. My dad used to say the last line to my brothers. 😘
This the most beautiful poem I have ever read about life!❤
whenever I feel like I’m loosing myself , I associate myself with whichever line relates to my situation. But it’s often “if you can wait and not be tired by waiting “
One of my all time favorite inspirational poems of all time. I made it a family tradition to present a beautiful framed copy to each of my 3 sons as a gift on the Christmas of their 21st year.
Now in their 40's they have each had occasion to refer to it over the years many times for inspiration. Yes, I agree that both men and women can gain strength and meaning from this but I don't feel the fact that it was directed to a " son" detracts from it one bit.
It's a beautiful , brilliant masterpiece .
I also gave it to my only son on his 18th birthday, unfortunately he passed away on his 24th, but it was his favorite poem
It was directed to a son because Kipling wrote this to his son or something around what I'm saying.
@@donnahirst1339 DH, So sorry. Life deals some very, very sad and difficult circumstances, doesn't it? You are a good mom.
How could I forget about this poem? We had to learn it by heart at the university. Beautiful. So inspiring. Especially these days. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Such a beautiful piece of life...such truth,such beauty,such a way of telling things extravagantly enormous succinctly, subtly, honestly....you got a one more in your fanlist.... Kipling...wait I was there all along.....since Mowgli.... wasn't I .....????
That is the best written and spoken verse I've ever heard. To the scumbags who vandalised this piece of script in a British university, you don't have the brians or the will power to fully understand how Mr Kipling wanted others to feel after reading this and for that I pity you dearly!!!!!!!!!
Gregory Killen
I am transformed by this . He is brilliant, insightful, insightful.
Gregory Killen unfortunately their are some Very bigoted misguided ingorant fools who try to justify there actions on the grounds that he was colonialist it won't work!! A great pity some idiots don't realise that!!
Gregory Killen - when did this happen? I never heard anything!
@@ephennell4ever Happened a while ago Eric !!!!! If you google it, you may get more of an accurate account and timeframe than I can give you. But unfortunately, it did happen, as much as it pains me to say !!!!!!
We homeschool our son and last year we studied 12 poems.
My teen son wasn’t interested in this assignment at first, he thought it was a waste of time. But as we dissected the meaning and immersed ourselves into the poems he began to really enjoy it. “IF” was one of our favorite poems. We spent a week discussing it and how it applies to his life.
At the end of your school year and during his evaluation he told the evaluator that getting lost in the poems we studied was the best part of the year. And he really enjoyed it and can apply it to his life.
What were the 12 poems?
The part where he talks about losing everything and then building your life backup with worn out tools really speaks to me
So I have bipolar one And around the age of 19 I went into a psychotic episode Lost my girlfriend lost my job Stopped going to martial arts Was in the hospital for months and then for almost 5 years didn't have any social media wouldn't talk to anybody wouldn't even leave my house Then my dad passed away from a drug overdose my brother passed away from Cancer and on top of all that my dog died
But despite all that in the last year i joined martial arts again I got a new girlfriend I got a job And I found my happiness It took me 6 years to rebuild my life 6 painful years Of reject lack of confidence and self hatred for me to come out of that slump but I did it I took the worn out tools I had and I rebuilt my life I don't know why I'm saying this I don't know if anybody's gonna read it but if you do and you're trying to put your life back together just know never give up Because happiness could be right around the corner and you just don't know it yet
We read it bro. Keep going. Hope all is well and I wish you happy holidays
Thank you
Dad's fighting for contact to see their children listen to this EVERY DAY !!!
me too
scottthefunk Lots of good karma and personal sacrifice and your world will change.
I have fought and I have won. Feel but don’t dwell. You will have your day
Thanks
Your best days with your children are still to come.....be there for them when they are set free by adulthood
Its like hearing a grandfather pass wisdom down to his children’s children
Yes
Kipling's son died in the army at pretty young age. The man Kipling is refering to is not his son but his godchild. Kipling's friend seeing him grieve for his real son's loss asked him to be the godfather of the friend's kid. Kipling agreed. So out of love he wrote this poem for the child as Kipling wanted to impart all life lessons to the young one before Kipling dies as he was remorseful that he couldnt do so for his real son
This poem means a lot to me, when my grandad died I had to stand up in front of everyone and read this out, he was the definition of a wise man, he came up from nothing from immigrant parents, had kids, but spent most of the time at the office, working to make ends meet, had three jobs day in day out he worked, made money and supported them, he couldn’t be there at the start for them but he did what he had to, I was his second grandson and he taught us so much, about life about art, how to be a gentleman, a work ethic, and he died in 2019, but he did all that work from when he was a father and had mashed potatoes every night to a happy life and left enough to but houses for each of his 4 children, love you grandad
The poem is exactly similar with what the supreme Lord Shri Krishna said to Arjuna in Bhagavad Gita (2.56 and 2.57).......!!!! 💐💐

Undoubtedly the best motivational poem ever written.
This appeared in my feed today. Thank you, I needed this.
"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster and treat those two impostors just the same" I just love that line. It resonates with my life experience.
It's disgusting to think that someone could deface something so perfect.
@Sushant Bhargav "In July 2018 students of Manchester University defaced a mural with the poem written on it, and replaced it with Still I Rise by Maya Angelou, saying that Kipling "dehumanised people of colour"."
SJWs.
@@papayaspice1155 Was it repaired?
I mean he was a massive racist and advocate for colonialism so
@@Harry-fy3te This poem was written in 1895, I think racism was pretty common on this time.
Or to put it differently: Why lack people the ability to split shit from gold, and see this poem as something beautifull he created and at the same time accept that his views are wrong. You know, people are never black or White in moral but somehow there are always idiots unable to think.
@@DundG I wasn't saying I agree with the students just explaining why, I think we have to separate art and the artists especially in history. If it was the poem "the white mans burden then I would definitely agree with the students but not in this scenario
I had this poem in my 10th grade .
but still I come back here again and again to hear it .
Too good !!!
I listen to this poem and feel as if I am a better man than I think myself to be.
I listen to this poem and realize that life is hard, but I've made it through 62 years, and I still love being here (alive and well)🤗
Same man same.
This poem is so uplifting... every word is gold
This poetry is soulmate for me since then I was 12 years old .it Always give me strength to face life and peoples.
When I was in my school.. I used to consider it as a part of my syllabus.. It didn't make much sense to me.. Now every single word make so much sense..... I guess now I actually understood what this poem was all about.
Your personal views consonant with my thoughts too. I really really enjoyed this song as that of an inspirational word of Vivekananda in my schoolhood days. Nice reminiscing now !
Most beautiful advice ...when you feel rejected by the world ....when you get enough space to breath in as a person in the society. Blessed be the soul of R. Kipling....
After coming across this poem by mistake on Amazon and reading it, I ordered the framed poster straight away. This poem is too powerful.
Wow! Has made me a better person! Thanks, for such a masterpiece!
This is one poem that causes one to thinking!
This is one of the best poems I've read ever in my life......
