I love you "if"

I love you "If" by Rudyard Kipling:
(i've added my personal insights to each, hope you don't mind)

If you can trust yourself when all people doubt you,
but make allowance for their doubting too;
(a humble genius, the challenge is perpetual)

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
(a zen master, there is no truth, only relativity's)

Or being hated don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
(a buddha, everything about nothing is your responsibility)

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
(an innovator, think and execute, application is defined after)

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
(a creative person, give way to spontaneity)

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
and treat those two impostors just the same;
(a jedi master, focus and perspective determine your reality)

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
(a politician, know your platform, know your audience)

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
and [ you ] stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
(an architect, everything around you is your house,
maintain it, build on it, remove what you don't need)

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;
(a race car driver, the turns change, the track changes,
some cars pass you while you pass others but, there is
a finish line and you will make it)

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!"
(a soul, you need no faith but, that which pertains to your ability)

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch,
(a charismatic leader, you belong to everyone you encounter)

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
(a psychologist - philosopher, emotional meanings are defined by you,
this is to say, you give everything meaning)

If all people count with you, but none too much;
(an independent, your greatest contribution is, you)

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
with sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
(enjoy every minute)

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
and—which is more—you'll be an adult, my children!
(you are now, you)
