If u can keep ur head when all abt u
Are losing theirs n blaming it on u;
If u can trust urself when all men doubt u,
But make allowance 4 their doubting too:
If u can wait n not b tired by waiting,
Or being lied abt, dont deal in lies,
Or being hated dont give way 2 hating,
And yet dont luk gud, nor talk too wise;
If u can dream-n not make dreams ur master;
If u can think-n not make thoughts ur aim,
If u can meet with Triumph n Disaster
And treat those 2 imposters just d same:
If u can bear to hear the truth u've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap 4 fools,
Or watch the things u gave ur life to, broken,
And stoop n build'em up with worn-out tools;
If u can make 1 heap of all ur winnings
And risk it on 1 turn of pitch-n-toss,
And lose, n start again at ur beginnings,
And nevr breathe a word abt ur loss:
If u can force ur heart n nerve n sinew
To serveur turn long after they r gone,
And so hold on when there's nothing in u
Except the WILL which says to them: "Hold on!"
If u can talk with crowds n keep ur virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither FOEs nor LOVING FRIENDs can hurt u,
If all men count with u, but none too much:
If u can fill the unforgiving minute
With 60secs worth of distance run,
YOURS IS THE EARTH AND EVERYTHING THAT'S IN IT!!!
