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,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;   
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Rudyard Kipling – If

L'apéro, abréviation d'apéritif, est un moment convivial en France où l'on partage des boissons et des amuse-bouches avant le repas. Il se pratique souvent entre amis ou en famille et est un moment de détente. Traditionnellement, on y sert des boissons alcoolisées comme du vin, du pastis ou du champagne, accompagnées de snacks tels que des olives, des chips, des noix ou des charcuteries. L'apéro est une coutume sociale très ancrée, symbolisant la convivialité et la détente.

SI TU SAIS PRENDRE L'APERO

Wee Willie Winkie (1937) / Once Upon a Time in China III (1993)

@rjayog - Kipling st general

My setting of the introductory verses of Rudyard Kipling's "The Old Issue." The poem warns against the return of monarchs with autocratic power. It's a warning we all need to repeat as often and strongly as possible.

The Old Issue

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,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

#217 #SOG #scoom

A meeting between the Little Prince and Jonathan Livingston the seagull, between Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, between Bernard Mandeville and Adam Smith, or Archimedes and Newton, all while passing through an explanation of Plato's myth of the cave, kinesiology, the four Toltec agreements, Diogenes syndrome, and Pareto's law, not to mention a tribute to Michel Legrand, François Truffaut, Louis de Funes, Oscar Wilde, Winston Churchill, and Jacques Tati... all while passing through a hymn to prime rib, the recipe for cassoulet, sauerkraut, paella, veal blanquette, and the art of the aperitif.

This is our musical universe. From rap to country, reggae, jazz, blues, and so many others.

Each theme deserves a suitable musical style.

Let's not forget our nods to New York, Miami, Paris, Berlin, Hong Kong, Moscow, Barcelona, ​​Lisbon, London, kyiv, Tel Aviv, Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, Marrakech, Los Angeles and Beijing... each in the language of their country.
