Question

In the ppoem' IF' by Rudyand Kipling, what does "unforgiving minute" and "worth of distance run" mean?​

Answer 1

Answer:

So, when Kipling states, "If you can fill the unforgiving minute/With sixty seconds' worth of distance run," he is saying that with every minute that you are given, make the absolute most of it that you can. "Unforgiving minute" refers to the fact that every single minute is 60 seconds long-no more, and no less.
