If you can keep your head
when all about you are
losing theirs and blaming
if on you,
if you can trust yourself,
when all men doubt you,
but make allowance for their doubting too;
if you can wait and not be
tired by waiting,
or being lied about
don't deal in lies,
or being hated
don't give way to hating,
and 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 throughts your aim;
if you can meet with
triamph and disatar and
treat those two imposters
just the same;
if you can bear th hear
the truth you've spoken
twisted by knowes to make
a trap for fools, or
watch the things you gave
your life to broken;
and stoop and build'em up
with worm - 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
about your loss;
if you can force your
heart and nerve and sinew
to serve your turn
long after they are gone,
and so hold on when there is nothing in you ...
except the will which says to them: "hold on"!
if you can talk with crowds
and keep your virtue , or
walk with king - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
if all men count with you
but none too much;
if you can fill the unforgiving
minute .. with sixty second's
worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and
everything that's in it,
- and - which is more ..
you'll be a Man, my son!
