Answer 1

Answer:

1. The poem 'If'' by Rudyard Kipling contains many moral values that might change a person to be a 'man of the Earth'. ... The line, “If you can dream – and not make dreams your master” is a very important principle for having balance. Meaning, dreams should not be your only aspirations, goals, or thoughts.

2.The poet personifies "Triumph" and "Disaster" and calls them 2 impostors. Impostor are those who come in disguise and deceive you. He means to say that if we get carried away with triumph it would soon lead to a downfall(disaster). Similarly if we work hard after a disaster it would lead us to success(triumph).
