Before reciting the poem
If—
It is a poem written by Kipling to his 12-year-old son. This poem is so inspiring that many people, especially teenagers, often use it to encourage themselves to move forward.
Practicing reciting the poem
Let’s enjoy the poem together!
If-
By Rudyard Kipling
If you can keep your head (保持冷静) 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 (考虑到,体谅) 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:
Example
If-
By Rudyard Kipling
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 (伪装者,骗子) just the same;
...
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!
Example
STEP 2:memorize your poem
“We speak of memorizing as getting something ‘by heart’ which really means ‘by head’. But getting a poem or prose passage truly ‘by heart’ implies getting it by mind and memory and understanding and delight.”
——John Hollander
