The rest of the quote helps. I was able to google it up from the IMDb:
"Hey, man, you don't talk to the Colonel. You listen to him. The man's enlarged my mind. He's a poet-warrior in the classic sense. I mean sometimes he'll... uh... well, you'll say "hello" to him, right? And he'll just walk right by you. He won't even notice you. And suddenly he'll grab you, and he'll throw you in a corner, and he'll say, "do you know that 'if' is the middle word in life? 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"... I mean I'm no, I can't... I'm a little man, I'm a little man, he's... he's a great man."
I think what he's trying to say is that we all have choices of how to act in any situation. It's how we use those 'ifs' that determines the character of our lives.

lemme try...
life is full of if's. no one can take the if in life or it wouldn't be life at all. it shows to me that we are responsible for our actions. be it good or bad. actions have consequences. you either get rewards or punishments. if you do one thing, right or wrong, active or passive, there are always results. one one in this world ever lives without the "if" in life.

the arabic word for life is "haya", it 's derived from the name for the Source of life, Al-Hayuun-God Alone! So whatever you are trying to get people to respond to,it appears that you want to bask in your own greatness.NOT!

no matter what u do in life there is always gonna be that "what if..." in the back of your mind. life revolves around choices and "if" is always a major part of them
