I agree with Rudyard Kipling's message because to me he's saying that if you don't let the world get to you and stay yourself through it all, you'll do great in life and be a "man". I think this is a very good poem because it's very inspirational and meaningful to me. "Walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch" is my favorite quote from the poem. it means that when you walk with the greats you can still stay grounded and not treat people like they are lesser than you when they are not. I think this could serve very good for people today, but i really dont think they will listen or do any of the things in the poem, but it is worth a try. It would be nice to see a more polite world, and i think this poem could help in some people.
