- Triumph and Disaster: The Stoic Wisdom of ‘If'
- Rudyard Kipling's "If" stands as a testament to the human spirit's resilience. This poem is a manual for personal integrity and stoicism, composed as paternal advice to the poet's son. It outlines the virtues of patience, courage, humility, and stoic calmness that one should possess amidst various trials and tribulations. Its timeless appeal comes from its universal message of maintaining one’s composure and self-belief in the face of life's adversities.
The Bard of Empire: Rudyard Kipling’s Literary Journey - Kipling, the first English-language writer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature, was an icon of his era. His works reflected the wide-ranging experiences of a life spent in India, England, and beyond. From the jungles of "The Jungle Book" to the disciplined verses of "If," Kipling's literature has spoken to the core of the human experience, navigating the complex tapestry of empire and the simplicity of individual fortitude.
Charting Untraveled Paths: Simerjeet Singh’s Inspirational Odyssey - Simerjeet Singh’s affinity for poetry like Kipling’s "If" is rooted in his own life's philosophy-of carving a unique path, embracing the unconventional, and inspiring change. His journey from the hospitality industry to a global keynote speaker mirrors the poetic lines that encourage standing firm in the face of doubt and adversity. Singh's recitation brings new life to Kipling’s words, encouraging a modern audience to navigate life’s vicissitudes with grace and determination.
Verse that Moves: The Enduring Power of Poetry - The "Poetry That Inspires" series is more than a collection of recited works; it's a catalyst for change, a reminder of poetry’s power to move the heart and stir the soul. Each video, infused with the universal appeal of Singh’s interpretations, invites viewers to a deeper contemplation of life. This series, including "If" by Rudyard Kipling, is a beacon for those seeking guidance and a spark for those who aspire to lead a life less ordinary.
In this digital age, where fleeting moments are captured in scrolls and swipes, Simerjeet Singh’s "Poetry That Inspires" series stands as a homage to the everlasting influence of words well crafted. It beckons viewers to pause and reflect, to find strength in verses that have bolstered spirits across generations, and to carry forward the torch of inspiration lit by the great 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 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!
