Poetry
#12
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 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 imposters just the same;


TP
There is a tide in the affairs of men
Which taken at the flood leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their lives
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
