    I1

    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

    !ut make allowance for their doubting too;

    If you can wait and not be tired by

    waiting "r being lied about don#t deal inlies

    "r being hated don#t gi$e way to hatingAnd

    yet don#t look too good nor talk too wise;

    If you can dream % and not make dreams your master;

    If you can think % and not make thoughts your aim; If

    you can meet with triumph and disaster

    And treat those two imposters&ust the same;

    If you can bear to hear the truth you#$e spoken'wisted by kna$es to make a trap for fools

    "r watch the things you ga$e your life to broken

    And stoop and build (em up with worn out tools;

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch%and%toss

    And lose and start again at your beginnings

    And ne$er breath a word about your loss;

    If you can force your heart and ner$e and sinew

    'o ser$e your turn long after they are goneAnd

    so hold on when there is nothing in you

    E)cept the Will which says to them* +,old on-;

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your $irtue

    "r walk with kings % nor lose the common touch;

    Ifneither foes nor lo$ing friends can hurt you;

    If all men count with you but none too much;If you can fill the unforgi$ing minute

    With si)ty seconds# worth of distance run %

    .ours is the Earth and e$erything that#s in it

    And % which is more % you#ll be a /an my son0
