Many strange legends are told of these jungles of India, but none so strange as the story of a small boy named Mowgli.

"If" Rudyard Kipling.

"If—" is a poem by Rudyard Kipling, first published in 1910. It is a timeless piece of literature that offers wisdom and advice on how to navigate the challenges and uncertainties of life. Here is the poem "If"

"If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

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 impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!"

This poem is often regarded as a guide for personal integrity, perseverance, and maintaining one's composure in the face of adversity.

Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English novelist, short-story writer, poet, and journalist. He was born in British India.

Born: 30 December 1865, Mumbai, India

Died: 18 January 1936, London.

Childhood in India: Kipling was born on December 30, 1865, in Bombay, British India (now Mumbai, India). His early years were spent in India, and the sights and sounds of the country greatly influenced his later works, including some of his most famous stories like "The Jungle Book."

Nobel Prize in Literature: In 1907, Rudyard Kipling became the first English-language writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. At the age of 41, he received the prestigious honor, primarily for his narrative mastery and his depiction of British imperialism.

Kipling's Voice: Kipling was an early enthusiast of audio recordings. In 1899, Thomas Edison recorded Kipling reading his poem "If—" on an Edison phonograph, making him one of the first authors to have their voice preserved in this manner. You can still find recordings of his voice online.

War Correspondent: During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Kipling worked as a war correspondent. He covered the Boer War in South Africa and later the First World War. His experiences as a correspondent and his son's death in World War I deeply affected him and influenced his later writings.

The Kipling Family and Disney: Rudyard Kipling's works, particularly "The Jungle Book," were adapted into successful Disney animated films. Interestingly, Kipling's daughter, Elsie, was instrumental in negotiating the rights with Disney for the adaptation. The films, released in 1967 and 2016, brought Kipling's classic stories to a new generation of audiences.

Mother O'Mine

(Rudyard Kipling)

If I were hanged on the highest hill,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

I know whose love would follow me still,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

I know whose tears would come down to me,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

Happy Mother's Day.

Adam Olmak

Çevrende herkes şaşırsa bunu da senden bilse, Sen aklı başında kalabilirsen eğer, Herkes senden kuşku duyarken hem kuşkuya yer bırakır, Hem kendine güvenirsen eğer, Bekleyebilirsen usanmadan, Yalanla karşılık vermezsen yalana, Kendini evliya sanmadan Kin tutmayabilirsen kin tutana,

Düşlere kapılmadan düş kurabilir, Yolunu saptırmadan düşünebilirsen eğer, Ne kazandım diye sevinir, ne yıkıldım diye yerinir, İkisine de vermeyebilirsen değer, Söylediğin gerçeği eğip büken düzenbaz, Kandırabilir diye safları, dert edinmezsen, Ömür verdiğin işler bozulsa da yılmaz, Koyulabilirsen işe yeniden,

Döküp ortaya varını yoğunu, Bir yazı turada yitirsen bile Yitirdiklerini dolamaksızın dile Baştan tutabilirsen yolunu Yüreğine, sinirine dayan diyecek Direncinden başka bir şeyin kalmasa da, Herkesin bırakıp gittiği noktada, Sen dayanabilirsen tek

Herkesle düşüp kalkar erdemli kalabilirsen, Unutmayabilirsen halkı, krallarla gezerken Dost da düşman da incitmezse seni Ne küçümser ne büyültürsen çevreni Her saatin her dakikasına Emeğini katarsan hakçasına Her şeyi ile dünya önüne serilir Üstelik oğlum, adam oldun demektir…

( Rudyard Kipling, If – Çeviren: Bülent Ecevit, Adam Olmak )
