Samantha Ruth Prabhu has turned to literature for inspiration, sharing Rudyard Kipling’s iconic poem If on her Instagram. Calling it a personal guide through life’s ups and downs, she wrote, “This poem has always been a guiding light for me, and I wanted to share it with you today.”
Kipling’s words resonate deeply with themes of resilience, calmness, and staying true to oneself during tough times. One powerful line from the poem reads:
“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating…”
