'If' by Rudyard Kipling (3 interpretations)

These are youtube videos of Rudyard Kipling's poem 'If'. Three different interpretations. Listen to the first and followed by the Dennis Hopper's interpretation. Then listen to Martin Shaw's reading. Which interpretation do you prefer? How did you feel listening to their renditions?
