[The Phoenix]

I guess most people have come across Kipling's 'IF' at one time or another, or parts of it... It remains one of my favourite poems and one of which just about every line has a bearing on my life at least once a year, every year.

And right now, there are some lines that for me are very relevant:

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster,
And treat those two imposters just the same;
