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 make not thoughts your aim; If you can meet 'with 'I'riumph and Disaster And treat those inosters jiist the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to iake a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your ife to, broken, And stool) and build them up with wornout tools; If you can make one heap of all your wiinnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To I erve your turn long after I they are gone: And .o hold on when there is nothing in you Except the W\ill which sayTs to them "Hold on!"
