Nice advices

"DON'T LOOK TOO GOOD NOR TALK TOO WISE"

it just a simple quote to be remember. actually its not an officially a quote. i found this brilliant sentence when i studied form 4 literature. i still remember it until today. it was taken from the poem IF by Rudyard Kipling. i think it was a great poem. full of advices. it was a didactic poem where the father gave some good advices to his little son. so that the son could grow up to be a fine gentleman.


this poem consist of 4 stanza. i am gonna pick out some of  it which i found it had a deep meaning.

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;

If you can dream and not make dreams your master,

If you can think and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

here the short meaning of it:

• practice patience
• avoid lying and being lied too
• put aside all the hatred
• be moderate in appearance and speech
• be humble and not arrogant

• not to indulge in dreams
• not to show off or try to impress
• be open minded and treat success and failure equally
