Books (poems) by Mr. Kipling (Poems entitled "IF" of 1895, 1910): becoming the perfect human in balance between emotions and wisdom.
In Rudyard Kipling, a few lines of this poem hold the wisdom of several great books. - Trust yourself...& Have dreams, but don't make dreams your master. "To strive, to seek, and not to yield."
Trust your INTELLECT and SPIRIT, especially when others doubt you. Yours is the earth and everything in it, which is more; you'll be a man, my son.
Being hated, but don't give way to hating.
Being lied about, don't deal in lies.
And yet, don't look too good, too wise.
"If you can wait and not be tired by waiting", strong words for this day and age. [All good things come to those who wait. Patience is indeed a virtue.
It's easy to get lost in the forest when you can't see through the trees.]
魯德亞德·吉卜林(Rudyard Kipling)的詩作(1895年、1910年題為《如果》的詩)以其詩句中的智慧,濃縮了許多偉大著作的精華,指引人們如何在情感與理智之間達到完美的平衡,成為真正成熟、理想的人。
在《如果》中,吉卜林寫道:
相信自己,即便眾人質疑你;
懷有夢想,但不要成為夢想的奴隸;
“努力、探索,永不屈服。”
當你被人憎恨時,不要回以仇恨;
當你被人誹謗時,不要用謊言回應;
但同時,也不要顯得過於完美或自以為是。
還有那句令人動容的忠告:“如果你能等待,又不因等待而疲憊”,在這個浮躁的時代格外有力。
善待時間,一切美好終會降臨於有耐心者。
耐心,是一種美德;當你看不清森林時,別忘了靜心等待,看清整片樹林的方向。
正如詩中所言:“你的天地,你將擁有;更重要的是——你將成為一個真正頂天立地的人,我的孩子。”

This entry is one of the poems and essays, which are tools for a lifetime; every now and then, you hear some words whispered and written down that ring true if you listen. I read this in high school, and it has stuck with me.
