If
A beautilfu poem by Rudyard Kipling which he wrote for his son.
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:
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 imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings -- nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run –
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
Had read this a long time back, but never understood it the way I do now.

Re-Invention
And now I give those thoughts a thought.
There has been a feeling of re-invention.
Re-invention of the 'essence' of life.
I don't know when life had the 'essence' I am talking about,
But when ever it was, it was surely long long time ago!
And now, when the summer sets in, I decide that it's time to bring back.
Bring back the feeling of your knees being green at the end of the day.
Bring back the joy of achieving something.
Bring back the happy feeling of doing your parents proud.
And to do all these, there will be lots of effort required.
For the love of god, I promise I shall do justice to my own life.
There is surely some motivation behind it!
July 15th is the motivation.
Bring it on!
