Most of us will never manage to achieve all of what Kipling admonished and probably none of us will ever achieve it all at the same time but we can try. Being significant requires work and diligence. Everything else is easy but amounts to nothing.

Neither can we be like Christ but we can try. Thank God for Grace but do not tempt Him because of it.
