Keep These Six Honest Serving Friends

Their names are what, why, when, how, where, and who. How do you learn about the world around you? Are you stagnant being caught up in your daily grind? Are you keeping yourself in honest company to learn new things and seeking the truth, or is your brain always resting once knowledge is acquired?

Sometimes we accept complacent from being so busy caught up in our daily grind and not knowing what’s happening in the world around us.  As a child we saw the world differently through a lens of curiosity. Here is an amazing poem by Rudyard Kipling to challenge you to ask questions and listen to your inner child.

I KEEP six honest serving-men

(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.

I let them rest from nine till five,
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men.
But different folk have different views;
I know a person small—
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!

She sends’em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes—
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!

Rudyard Kipling
