IF

If you can keep yor head when all about you
Are loosing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
And make allownace for their doubting you too,
If you can wait and not be tired of waiting ,
Or being lied don't not deal in lies ,
Or being hated ,Don't give way to hating ,
And yet not look too good nor talk to wise .

If you can dream and not make dreams your master;
If you think and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat these two imposters just the same ,
If you can bear to hear the truth spoken about you
twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools ,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop down and build them up with worn out tools .

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
with a sixty second worth of distant run,
Yours is the Earth and everything in it ,
Which is more you will be a man ,My son .
