Explain the two best points of the poem "If" and how does these two points apply to the reader?"If" by Rudyard Kipling

I find the following two points especially relevant for me:

a) "If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim";

b) "If all men count with you, but none too much."

Both of these lines speak to particular weaknesses that I have. 

I tend to think a lot and to read a lot of books (that's how I'm able to answer questions on ).  Sometimes all that thinking and reading can get in the way of getting "real" things done, little things like working, cleaning up, exercising, calling Mom, etc.  So I appreciate Kipling's advice to think but not to "make thoughts your aim."

Another weakness I have is that I can't really decide if I care what other people think about me or not.  Sometimes I brag that I don't give a damn about what anyone says, but deep down I know that I want to be accepted by others.  I think that Kipling strikes a good balance when he says that all men should "count with you, but none too much."
