  Kipling’s India
  India proved to be a wonder land for the young boy, where he explored the local markets with his sister Alice and his nanny, taking in the various exotic sights, and learning the local language. This however was short-lived; when Rudyard turned six his mother insisted to send him back to England to begin his formal education.

  (‘Brother Square-Toes’—Rewards and Fairies)
  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!
