If vou can keep your head when all about you
Are. losing theirs and Maniinjr it on vou;
If vou can trust vourself when all men dotiht vou.
But make allowance for their 1oii1tiiui too:
If vou can wait and not he tired hv waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or bcniff hated don't give way to hating.
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
If vou can dream and not make dreams your master;
If voti can think and not make thoughts your aim,
If vou can meet with Triumph and Disaster
Ami treat those two impostors just the same:
If vou can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave 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 vour beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If vou can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after thev are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in vou
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep vour virtue.
Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt yon,
If all men count with yort, but none too much:
If you can till the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it.
And which is more you'll be a Man, my sun!
