Summarize Kipling's advice to his son.




·   

1.      The father advices his son about the qualities of man. He is setting the parameters or boundaries for his son to achieve his goal.
2.      He tells his son to make decisions. He advices him to be confident on making decisions.
3.      If others blame on him, he must not lose his hope. Aperson must not doubt himself when others doubt him. He must trust himself.
4.      A person must not act too wisely. He can dream and not make dreams his master. He can think but not make thoughts your aim. Men can gain wisdom.
5.      A person may meet with triumph and disaster. He asks to treat the two imposters same. He asks to hear the truth and not to be trapped by evils.
6.      He asks to build a heap with the winnings. If there is a lose, he asks to start again from beginning. He also advices him not to breathe a word about your loss.
7.      He also advices to put his efforts. He asks his to hold on when he has nothing. He wants to maintain virtue while he talk with the crowds.
8.      If he is supposed to walk with the kings, he should not lose the common touch.
9.      Neither enemy nor friends can hurt him
10.  If all men join him, he must not be too much attached
11.  He wants his son to run towards his goal. The earth is his and everything in the earth is for him. Kipling says ‘If a person follows all this, he would be a man’
