उत्तर
Without the word if, the poem would remain as a simple statement of rules for success. By beginning each stanza with the word if, first of all, the poet implies that every human being has the choice of wanting to be successful in life. This is a more effective way of expression. Also by using the word if, he puts forward the conditions that will determine success in any sphere.
