IF
“ If you
can keep your head when all about you
Are
losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you
can trust your self 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 not thoghts your aim; “
