“IF”
If you can
keep your head when all about you are
Losing their a
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, not talk too wise,
If you can dream
and not make dreams your master
If you can think
and not make thought 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 too,
Broken, and
stoop and build 'em up worn out tools
If you can wish to reach the
highest, that it begin at the lowest
