\"Rudyard_Kipling\"Rudyard Kipling to his son:<\/p>\n

\n
\n

If you can keep your head when all about are losing theirs
\nAnd blaming it on you,
\nIf you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
\nAnd make allowance for their doubting too,
\nIf you can wait and not be tired by waiting
\nOr being lied about don\u2019t deal in lies,
\nOr being hated don\u2019t give way to hating
\nAnd yet don\u2019t look too good nor talk too wise,
\nIf you can dream and not make dreams your master,
\nIf you can think yet not make thoughts your aim,
\nIf you can meet with triumph and disaster
\nAnd treat those two imposters just the same,
\nIf you can bear to hear the truth you\u2019ve spoken
\nTwisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
\nOr watch the things you gave your life to broken
\nAnd stoop and build them up with worn out tools,
\nIf you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
\nAnd walk with kings yet not lose the common touch,
\nIf neither friends nor loving friends can hurt you,
\nWith all men count with you yet none too much,
\nIf you can fill the unforgiving minute
\nWith sixty seconds worth of distance run,
\nYours is the earth and all that is in it,
\nAnd what is more you\u2019ll be a man my son.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
