ebo, I want to thank you for posting a verse from one of my favorite poems.

I recently memorized Kipling's IF, in order to be able to recite it on the occasion of my youngest son's twenty-first birthday.

It always seems to have relevance to our day to day experiences, don't you think?

The opening verses seem pertinent to me on occasion, when posting on this board...lol

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:


The next verse has value to the investors here;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;



I know you claim to have me on ignore, so you won't be able to post a response to this post without looking like an idiot, so don't do it.

Thanks again.

regards,
frog
