if you can keep your head when others around 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,
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 imposters just the same;
if you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
twisted by villains to make a trap for fools,
or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
and stoop and build them 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 your beginnings
never breathing a word about your loss;
if you can force your heart and nerve and might
to serve you long after they are gone,
and so hold on when there is no fight
except the will which says to them: "hold on! "

if you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
or walk with kings—not lose the common touch,
if neither enemies nor loving friends can hurt you,
if 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!
