by Rudyard Kipling<\/em><\/p>\n

If you can keep your head
\nwhen all about you men are losing theirs
\nand blaming it on you,
\nIf you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
\nbut make allowances for their doubting, too.
\nIf you can wait but not be tired of waiting,
\nor being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
\nOr being hated, don’t give way to hating,
\nand yet don’t look too good nor talk too wise,<\/p>\n

If you can dream but not make dreams your master,
\nif you can think and not make thoughts your aim,
\nIf you can meet with triumph and disaster,
\nand treat those two imposters just the same,
\nIf you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
\ntwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
\nOr watch the things you gave your life to broken,
\nand stoop and build them up with worn-out tools,
\nIf you can make one heap of all your winnings
\nand risk it on one turn of pitch and toss,
\nand lose and start again at your beginnings
\nand never breathe a word about your loss,<\/p>\n

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
\nto serve your turn long after they are gone,
\nand to hold on when there is nothing in you
\nbut the will that says to them “hold on,”
\nIf you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
\nor walk with kings nor lose the common touch,
\nIf neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
\nif all men count with you but none too much,
\nIf you can fill the unforgiving minute
\nwith 60 seconds worth of distance run,
\nYours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
\nand which is more, you’ll be a man, my son.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
