My parents had a copy of it framed and hung in the house so it's something that's had an influence on my life over the years. Also had to memorize the poem in grade school, way back when. So it's always nice to come across it again since it contains much excellent thought that can be looked at as guide posts in life.Waylonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08533895509055020394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-58222347052397782402013-05-14T13:12:54.546-04:002013-05-14T13:12:54.546-04:00Another exhortation to virtue?Another exhortation to virtue?Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-4963986177811721862013-05-14T12:15:18.254-04:002013-05-14T12:15:18.254-04:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnApJcGBDFY&nor...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnApJcGBDFY&noredirect=1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-89919121877926298382013-05-14T11:32:38.838-04:002013-05-14T11:32:38.838-04:00It bears repeating, I guess...

Later, as maturity allowed, the children learned more about the poem's meaning. These two children -- one graduating from college in a few weeks and the other entering 11th grade next school term -- have told me that this Kipling poem has had a powerful and positive effect on their lives because they try to live by the poem's precepts.<br /><br />I must say that these two young people are among the most delightful students with whom I've ever worked! They are popular with both adults and peers because these two young people are kind to others and, at the same time, stand firm in their Christian beliefs. They respect others, and others respect them!Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.com
