This seems an appropriate time to revisit this poem by Kipling.

A brilliant piece by a brilliant man. It's hard to pick a single line that stands above the others, but one of my favorites is

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run

Sadly, it's something I fail at often.

Years ago I memorized this fantastic poem, but hadn’t thought of it in a long while.

Thank you for posting it!! So many lines that give great meaning to life and to live by!
