"If" Commentary

    In the poem if by Rudyard Kipling he describes how a man should be humble patient rational truthful and dependable also persevering. These trays should apply to both genders though everyone should have these traits. It is as if Rudyard wants people to find goodness even in horrible circumstances. He directed this poem to his son from the selfishness of children to the men to the maturation of adults. He set a bar to everyone on how to persevere. I believe that this poem is a great example. And makes me think that perhaps this makes a human perfect which is not possible . For someone to have these traits mean means that they're perfect in my opinion .
