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
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 truths you've spoken
twisted by knaves to make a track 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 in your beginnings and
Never breathe a word about your loss
If you can force your heart and nerve and sing to serve your turn
Look after they are gone 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 if you can fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth distance run
Yours is the earth and everything that's in it
You'll be a man
