OT: This board seems to like Rudyard Kipling's IF. Here is something else from Kipling, this time about global competitiveness, but written in 1894, words from a shipowner of the time. It is from "The Mary Gloster" about 5 pages long:-

Steel and the first expansions, It paid, I tell you it paid,
When we came with our nine know freighters and collared the long-run trade!
And they asked me how I did it, and I gave them the Scripture text,
“You keep your light so shining a little in front o’ the next!”
They copied all they could follow, but they couldn’t copy my mind,
And I left then sweating and stealing a year and a half behind.


Stay the Course
