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.]
鲁德亚德·吉卜林（Rudyard Kipling）的诗作（1895年、1910年题为《如果》的诗）以其诗句中的智慧，浓缩了许多伟大著作的精华，指引人们如何在情感与理智之间达到完美的平衡，成为真正成熟、理想的人。
在《如果》中，吉卜林写道：
相信自己，即便众人质疑你；
怀有梦想，但不要成为梦想的奴隶；
“努力、探索，永不屈服。”
当你被人憎恨时，不要回以仇恨；
当你被人诽谤时，不要用谎言回应；
但同时，也不要显得过于完美或自以为是。
还有那句令人动容的忠告：“如果你能等待，又不因等待而疲惫”，在这个浮躁的时代格外有力。
善待时间，一切美好终会降临于有耐心者。
耐心，是一种美德；当你看不清森林时，别忘了静心等待，看清整片树林的方向。
正如诗中所言：“你的天地，你将拥有；更重要的是——你将成为一个真正顶天立地的人，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.

He left out the greatest line in that poem... "If you can meet with triumphant and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same."
I was on the verge of commenting, but you outshone me! Good on you, friend!!! This wisdom, which is both timeless and powerful, truly inspires me with divine grace and speaks to the source of all things sacred. I always did say to my ex- "Oh?! You think you're a good man? A great man, even? And you have to tell me that, over and over again? And that I'm not what you consider to be "wife material," that I'm "uncouth," and that you're "afraid of me," "too much"...too "yang""...maybe that's because I've never seen a man showing up in my life braver and kinder than me...and it's sad that I've never met a better man than me. A woman."
