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​

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 thoughts your aim;​

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster​

And treat those two impostors just the same;​

If you 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 all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,​

And lose, and start again at your beginnings​

And never breath a word 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 kings--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 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 son!

--Rudyard Kipling
