IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,<\/p>\n

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;<\/p>\n

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,<\/p>\n

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you can dream – and not make dreams your master;<\/p>\n

If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim;<\/p>\n

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same;<\/p>\n

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,<\/p>\n

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,<\/p>\n

And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;<\/p>\n

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,<\/p>\n

And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<\/p>\n

‘ Or walk with Kings – nor lose the common touch,<\/p>\n

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,<\/p>\n

If all men count with you, but none too much;<\/p>\n

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,<\/p>\n

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!<\/p>\n
