Rudyard Kipling was a prolific poet, novelist and journalist and one of the most well-known Victorian writers of his time.
in 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his great body of work which included 'The Jungle Book' and his stoic poem 'If'.
In perhaps one of the most inspirational poems ever written, Kipling outlines for his son the behaviours and attitudes it takes to become a man, advising his son about how to perceive the world and life's challenges so that he can both learn from his experiences and resolutely overcome barriers.
The life of the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, Rudyard Kipling, was filled with tragedy. He survived a difficult childhood to go on to become one of the most celebrated authors of his day, penning such classics as "The Jungle Book" and "Just So Stories". But, only one of his children would survive him and his legacy has been tied to some of his out-dated political beliefs. The History Guy remembers the tragic life of Rudyard Kipling.

If by Rudyard Kipling narrated by Tom O' Bedlam.
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!

JUST SO STORIES by Rudyard Kipling - FULL AudioBook | Greatest Audio Books
The stories, first published in 1902, are pourquoi (French for "why") or origin stories, fantastic accounts of how various phenomena came about. A forerunner of these stories is Kipling's "How Fear Came," included in his The Second Jungle Book (1895). In it, Mowgli hears the story of how the tiger got his stripes.
The Just So Stories typically have the theme of a particular animal being modified from an original form to its current form by the acts of man, or some magical being. For example, the Whale has a tiny throat because he swallowed a mariner, who tied a raft inside to block the whale from swallowing other men. The Camel has a hump given to him by a djinn as punishment for the camel's refusing to work (the hump allows the camel to work longer between times of eating). The Leopard's spots were painted by an Ethiopian (after the Ethiopian painted himself black). The Kangaroo gets its powerful hind legs, long tail, and hopping gait after being chased all day by a dingo. The predator was sent by a minor god responding to the Kangaroo's request to be made different from all other animals.
Kipling personally illustrated the original editions of the Just So Stories.

A friend of mine asked me to post this, after reading the following news item three days ago (24th September, 2009)
"The number of former servicemen in prison or on probation or parole is now more than double the total British deployment in Afghanistan, according to a new survey. An estimated 20,000 veterans are in the criminal justice system, with 8,500 behind bars, almost one in 10 of the prison population."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/sep/24/jailed-veteran-servicemen-outnumber-troops
"Tommy" was written in 1890, yet it's surprising how relevant it seems today. It was originally called The Queens Uniform, which makes the line about "The Widow's Uniform" more poignant.
The Guardian published this article about Kipling, quoting his piece about the soldiers killed in the war which ends with the line, "who shall return us our children?"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2008/jul/29/poemoftheweekthechildren
"The Thin Red Line" was painted by Robert Gibb in 1881. Kipling was quoting the title of this famous painting which shows the Sutherland highlanders at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.
On 28 December 2003, Peter Pindar published his version in the Sunday Telegraph,
Tommy in the 21st Century
We aren't made for cool Britannia; we leave boot marks on the floor.
We don't walk like Peter Mandelson or talk like Jack Straw.
Call us forces of conservatism, if it suits your turn
But we're off like some world fire brigade when the flash-points start to burn.
Yes it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that that, an' spend less on defence,
But who walks the streets of Basra when the air is getting tense?
When the air is getting tense, boys, from Kabul to Kosovo
Who'll say goodbye to wife and kids, and shoulder pack and go?
The Queen, she's sat in Windsor now for 50 years or more.
She'll see this government depart like the other one before.
And Blair & Bush & Chirac make their plans to no avail
But who remains to serve the Crown when politicians fail?
O it's Tommy change your values - now diversity's the game;
But when Christmas leave is cancelled, then whose tyrants are to blame?
There's tyrants in the mountains, boys, and tyrants in the sands,
So farewell to wives & risk your lives for them in foreign lands.

Eğer, bütün etrafındakiler panik içine düştüğü
ve bunun sebebini senden bildikleri zaman
sen başını dik tutabilir ve sağduyunu kaybetmezsen;
Eğer sana kimse güvenmezken sen kendine güvenir
ve onların güvenmemesini de haklı görebilirsen;
Eğer beklemesini bilir ve beklemekten de yorulmazsan
veya hakkında yalan söylenir de sen yalanla iş görmezsen,
ya da senden nefret edilir de kendini nefrete kaptırmazsan,
bütün bunlarla beraber ne çok iyi ne de çok akıllı görünmezsen;
Eğer hayal edebilir de hayallerine esir olmazsan,
Eğer düşünebilip de düşüncelerini amaç edinebilirsen,
Eğer zafer ve yenilgi ile karşılaşır
ve bu iki hokkabaza aynı şekilde davranabilirsen;
Eğer ağzından çıkan bir gerçeğin bazı alçaklar tarafından
ahmaklara tuzak kurmak için eğilip bükülmesine katlanabilirsen,
ya da ömrünü verdiğin şeylerin bir gün başına yıkıldığını görür
ve eğilip yıpranmış aletlerle onları yeniden yapabilirsen;
Eğer bütün kazancını bir yığın yapabilir
ve yazı-tura oyununda hepsini tehlikeye atabilirsen;
ve kaybedip yeniden başlayabilir
ve kaybın hakkında bir kerecik olsun bir şey söylemezsen;
Eğer kalp, sinir ve kasların eskidikten çok sonra bile
işine yaramaya zorlayabilirsen
ve kendinde 'dayan' diyen bir iradeden
başka bir güç kalmadığı zaman dayanabilirsen;
Eğer kalabalıklarda konuşup onurunu koruyabilirsen,
ya da krallarla gezip karakterini kaybetmezsen;
Eğer ne düşmanların ne de sevgili dostların seni incitmezse;
Eğer aşırıya kaçmadan tüm insanları sevebilirsen;
Eğer bir daha dönmeyecek olan dakikayı,
altmış saniyede koşarak doldurabilirsen;
Yeryüzü ve üstündekiler senindir
Ve dahası
sen bir İNSAN olursun oğlum...

Born in Bombay in 1865, Kipling has been described as the poet of Empire, celebrated for fictional works including Kim and The Jungle Book. Today his poem 'If--' remains one of the best known in the English language. Kipling was amongst the first writers in English to develop the short story as a literary form in its own right, and was the first British recipient of a Nobel Prize for Literature. A literary celebrity of the Edwardian era, Kipling's work for the Commonwealth War Graves Commission played a major role in Britain's cultural response to the First World War.

Rudyard, Staffordshire
Rudyard is a lakeside village in the county of Staffordshire, England, west of Leek and on the shore of Rudyard Lake. Population details as taken at the 2011 census can be found under Horton.
Rudyard was served by a railway station which was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway on 22 July 1850.
Rudyard Lake
The Rudyard Lake was built in 1797 by the engineer John Rennie, for the Trent and Mersey Canal company, to provide water for the Caldon Canal. The Rudyard Lake Steam Railway operates steam trains along a one and a half mile track along the eastern side of the lake. The western shore is part of the Staffordshire Way, a long distance footpath.
The lakeside resort developed after the construction of the North Staffordshire Railway in 1845. On one particular day in 1877, more than 20,000 people came to watch Captain Webb - the first man to swim the English Channel - swim the reservoir. The parents of Rudyard Kipling, John Lockwood Kipling and Alice Macdonald first met at Rudyard and named their son after the village. The lake is also home to Rudyard Lake Sailing Club and the Rudyard Lake Steam Railway.

But, only one of his children would survive him and his legacy has been tied to some of his out-dated political beliefs. The History Guy remembers the tragic life of Rudyard Kipling.

If by Rudyard Kipling narrated by Tom O' Bedlam.
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!

JUST SO STORIES by Rudyard Kipling - FULL AudioBook | Greatest Audio Books
The stories, first published in 1902, are pourquoi (French for "why") or origin stories, fantastic accounts of how various phenomena came about. A forerunner of these stories is Kipling's "How Fear Came," included in his The Second Jungle Book (1895). In it, Mowgli hears the story of how the tiger got his stripes.
The Just So Stories typically have the theme of a particular animal being modified from an original form to its current form by the acts of man, or some magical being. For example, the Whale has a tiny throat because he swallowed a mariner, who tied a raft inside to block the whale from swallowing other men. The Camel has a hump given to him by a djinn as punishment for the camel's refusing to work (the hump allows the camel to work longer between times of eating). The Leopard's spots were painted by an Ethiopian (after the Ethiopian painted himself black). The Kangaroo gets its powerful hind legs, long tail, and hopping gait after being chased all day by a dingo. The predator was sent by a minor god responding to the Kangaroo's request to be made different from all other animals.
Kipling personally illustrated the original editions of the Just So Stories.

A friend of mine asked me to post this, after reading the following news item three days ago (24th September, 2009)
"The number of former servicemen in prison or on probation or parole is now more than double the total British deployment in Afghanistan, according to a new survey. An estimated 20,000 veterans are in the criminal justice system, with 8,500 behind bars, almost one in 10 of the prison population."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/sep/24/jailed-veteran-servicemen-outnumber-troops
"Tommy" was written in 1890, yet it's surprising how relevant it seems today. It was originally called The Queens Uniform, which makes the line about "The Widow's Uniform" more poignant.
The Guardian published this article about Kipling, quoting his piece about the soldiers killed in the war which ends with the line, "who shall return us our children?"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2008/jul/29/poemoftheweekthechildren
"The Thin Red Line" was painted by Robert Gibb in 1881. Kipling was quoting the title of this famous painting which shows the Sutherland highlanders at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.
On 28 December 2003, Peter Pindar published his version in the Sunday Telegraph,
Tommy in the 21st Century
We aren't made for cool Britannia; we leave boot marks on the floor.
We don't walk like Peter Mandelson or talk like Jack Straw.
Call us forces of conservatism, if it suits your turn
But we're off like some world fire brigade when the flash-points start to burn.
Yes it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that that, an' spend less on defence,
But who walks the streets of Basra when the air is getting tense?
When the air is getting tense, boys, from Kabul to Kosovo
Who'll say goodbye to wife and kids, and shoulder pack and go?
The Queen, she's sat in Windsor now for 50 years or more.
She'll see this government depart like the other one before.
And Blair & Bush & Chirac make their plans to no avail
But who remains to serve the Crown when politicians fail?
O it's Tommy change your values - now diversity's the game;
But when Christmas leave is cancelled, then whose tyrants are to blame?
There's tyrants in the mountains, boys, and tyrants in the sands,
So farewell to wives & risk your lives for them in foreign lands.

Rudyard Kipling was a prolific poet, novelist and journalist and one of the most well-known Victorian writers of his time.
in 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for his great body of work which included 'The Jungle Book' and his stoic poem 'If'.
In perhaps one of the most inspirational poems ever written, Kipling outlines for his son the behaviours and attitudes it takes to become a man, advising his son about how to perceive the world and life's challenges so that he can both learn from his experiences and resolutely overcome barriers.

The life of the youngest-ever winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, Rudyard Kipling, was filled with tragedy. He survived a difficult childhood to go on to become one of the most celebrated authors of his day, penning such classics as "The Jungle Book" and "Just So Stories". But, only one of his children would survive him and his legacy has been tied to some of his out-dated political beliefs. The History Guy remembers the tragic life of Rudyard Kipling.

If by Rudyard Kipling narrated by Tom O' Bedlam.
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!

JUST SO STORIES by Rudyard Kipling - FULL AudioBook | Greatest Audio Books
The stories, first published in 1902, are pourquoi (French for "why") or origin stories, fantastic accounts of how various phenomena came about. A forerunner of these stories is Kipling's "How Fear Came," included in his The Second Jungle Book (1895). In it, Mowgli hears the story of how the tiger got his stripes.
The Just So Stories typically have the theme of a particular animal being modified from an original form to its current form by the acts of man, or some magical being. For example, the Whale has a tiny throat because he swallowed a mariner, who tied a raft inside to block the whale from swallowing other men. The Camel has a hump given to him by a djinn as punishment for the camel's refusing to work (the hump allows the camel to work longer between times of eating). The Leopard's spots were painted by an Ethiopian (after the Ethiopian painted himself black). The Kangaroo gets its powerful hind legs, long tail, and hopping gait after being chased all day by a dingo. The predator was sent by a minor god responding to the Kangaroo's request to be made different from all other animals.
Kipling personally illustrated the original editions of the Just So Stories.

A friend of mine asked me to post this, after reading the following news item three days ago (24th September, 2009)
"The number of former servicemen in prison or on probation or parole is now more than double the total British deployment in Afghanistan, according to a new survey. An estimated 20,000 veterans are in the criminal justice system, with 8,500 behind bars, almost one in 10 of the prison population."
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2009/sep/24/jailed-veteran-servicemen-outnumber-troops
"Tommy" was written in 1890, yet it's surprising how relevant it seems today. It was originally called The Queens Uniform, which makes the line about "The Widow's Uniform" more poignant.
The Guardian published this article about Kipling, quoting his piece about the soldiers killed in the war which ends with the line, "who shall return us our children?"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/booksblog/2008/jul/29/poemoftheweekthechildren
"The Thin Red Line" was painted by Robert Gibb in 1881. Kipling was quoting the title of this famous painting which shows the Sutherland highlanders at the Battle of Balaclava during the Crimean War.
On 28 December 2003, Peter Pindar published his version in the Sunday Telegraph,
Tommy in the 21st Century
We aren't made for cool Britannia; we leave boot marks on the floor.
We don't walk like Peter Mandelson or talk like Jack Straw.
Call us forces of conservatism, if it suits your turn
But we're off like some world fire brigade when the flash-points start to burn.
Yes it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that that, an' spend less on defence,
But who walks the streets of Basra when the air is getting tense?
When the air is getting tense, boys, from Kabul to Kosovo
Who'll say goodbye to wife and kids, and shoulder pack and go?
The Queen, she's sat in Windsor now for 50 years or more.
She'll see this government depart like the other one before.
And Blair & Bush & Chirac make their plans to no avail
But who remains to serve the Crown when politicians fail?
O it's Tommy change your values - now diversity's the game;
But when Christmas leave is cancelled, then whose tyrants are to blame?
There's tyrants in the mountains, boys, and tyrants in the sands,
So farewell to wives & risk your lives for them in foreign lands.

Sunday, lips like Sunday
Painted holy shine
Soothe this nervous child
Come to me now
Are you on your way?
Hunger, shelter, comfort
Painted in your warm black eyes
Like a mother's eyes
Come to me now
Are you on your way?
Come to me now
Are you on your way?
Soothe this nervous child
Come to me now
