'If—' is a motivational poem that offers suggestions for how people should spend their lives. The poem walks the reader through numerous strategies for overcoming challenges that are nearly certain to come their way at some point.

The speaker offers the reader numerous scenarios, both good and bad, and a glimpse into how one should act throughout the poem. The poem's if-then scenario gives it an almost mathematical proof-like quality. Kipling saves the "then" for the last two words, telling the reader that, if he or she is able to do everything that has just been outlined, not only will they have the world at their disposal, but they will also be a "Man."
