Explanation of the entire poem
The poem ‘If’ by Rudyard Kipling is classical poem packed with rare optimism, motivation, and practical wisdom meant for his son. The poet advises his son to have complete trust in themselves. He advises the readers not to indulge in any self-doubt, lies, hating, and stay humble and moderate.
Continuing his advice he asks his son not to depend so much on dreams, thoughts; and stay composed and stable in victory and loss; and have the courage to speak the truth and face the consequences for having spoken the truth; and be prepared to rebuild the dreams from scratch after they are broken and shattered.

He says if he can keep his virtues intact in the company of kings and ordinary people; if he has learnt to stay unhurt from friends and foes; if men and women have trust in him; if he can live truly for even a minute holding on to the virtues mentioned above, he will be remembered for eternity and will be a true Man.
