Rudyard Kipling created an inspiring work of literature called "If," which was this week's poem of the week. The poem tells how to be the best person one can be, and the advice given has always in my life been proven true. Some of the greatest qualities in a person shine when he or she is faced with an unpleasant situation. To be truthful when others are lying, to be loving when others have hatred, and to be calm amongst chaos are accomplishments deserving of great respect. We often forget these guidelines when dealing with hardships, or we even choose to ignore them because of their difficulty in performing; but Kipling believes that if we can do such tasks, we can be the best versions of ourselves.
I want to be able to follow Kipling's words in my next big decision, or even my next small one, since these are often the most important.

I completely agree with what you're saying. If we can all follow Kipling's advice in how to carry ourselves in difficult sitautions, then it will greatly improve our own self-qualities. I think the most important idea though is to stay true to ourselves and not bend to outside negative influences.
