In, his classic poem, "IF" Rudyard Kipling illustrated some of the requisites of manhood. Here's a similar take on the same theme:
IF
If you can start the day without caffeine; If you can get going without pep pills; If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; If you can conquer tension without medical help; If you can relax without liquor; If you can sleep without the aid of drugs; If you can resist complaining and boring others with your troubles; If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it; If you can be understanding and forgiving when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time; If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong; If you can criticism and blame without resentment; If you can let bygones be bygones and never harbor a grudge; If you can ignore a friend’s limited education and never correct him/her; If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend; If you can face the world without lies or deceit; If you can say that you never feel jealousy, envy, conceit or pride; If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics---- Then, my friend, you are ALMOST as good as your dog.
