🔰"If" by Rudyard Kipling - Narrated by Michael Caine

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 allowances 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 okay and yet don't look too good. If you can dream and not make dreams your master. If you can think cannot make thought your aim. If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposter just the same. If you can hear the truth you've spoken twist it by knave to make a trap for fools or watch the things you gave your life for 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 the beginning and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sing you to serve your turn long after they are done 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 60 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.
