If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirsand blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
Are losing theirs
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
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 impostors just the same;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools:
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
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 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!
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
Some of you who may have known me may disagree. The fact is, I've changed so much in even the short amount of time I've seen some of you. And for those of you who know me now...you don't know me under pressure. Some of you don't truly know me at all. Despite what you may think.
