He was starved of love and attention and sent away by his parents beaten and abused by his foster mother and a failure at a public school which sought to develop qualities that were completely alien to Kipling. The beauty and elegance of 'If–' contrasts starkly with Rudyard Kipling's largely tragic and unhappy life. Lines from Kipling's 'If–' appear over the player's entrance to Wimbledon's Centre Court - a poignant reflection of the poem's timeless and inspiring quality. 'If–' is perhaps even more relevant today than when Kipling wrote it, as an ethos and a personal philosophy. Kipling's 'If–' contains mottos and maxims for life, and the poem is also a blueprint for personal integrity, behaviour and self-development. The poem 'If-' is inspirational, motivational, and a set of rules for 'grown-up' living. Rudyard Kipling's (1865-1936) inspirational poem 'If–' first appeared in his collection 'Rewards and Fairies' in 1909. ![]() A really motivational and encouraging poem visual poetry performance reading by Christopher Emerson. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Just like in a video game, Keiji keeps improving and improving with each continue until he becomes a formidable–nay, superhuman–force on the battlefield.
