Listen "If"
Episode Synopsis
Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936) was a master of words, capturing both the strength of the individual and the power of community. His poem If— is a timeless guide to resilience, patience, and integrity—offering wisdom on how to navigate life’s trials with dignity and stillness. But Kipling also understood that no one stands alone. In The Law of the Jungle, taken from The Jungle Book, he explores the balance between personal strength and the responsibilities we owe to others (Season 2 Episode 2). Together, these poems remind us that success isn’t just about endurance—it’s about knowing when to trust yourself and when to stand with others.
