What IF you can keep your head
when everybody is losing their heads
and blaming it on... you

What IF you can trust yourself
when all men doubt you...
and make allowance for their doubting too

What IF you can wait
and not be tired by waiting...
and be lied on, but avoid telling lies
or be hated, but avoid feeling hatred
and yet... not look too good, nor talk too wise

What IF you can dream and not make dreams your master
What IF you can think and not make thoughts your aim
What IF you can meet with triumph or disaster
and treat those two imposters just the same!

What IF you can bear to hear the truth you& #39;ve spoken
twisted by liars to make a trap for fools
... or watch the things you gave your life to be broken
yet stoop... and build them up again with worn-out tools

What IF you can make one heap of all your winnings
and risk them all in one single turn... then lose
... yet start all over from the beginning
and never breathe a word about your loss!

What IF you can force your heart, nerve, and tissues
to serve you long after they are gone
and to hold on when there& #39;s nothing in you
except the will to just & #39;hold on& #39;

What IF you can talk with crowds
and keep your virtue
or walk with kings
nor lose the common touch

What IF neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you
and IF all men can count with you... but not in you
yet... you remain unaffected and just the same
THEN I BELIEVE YOURS IS THE WORLD
and everything that& #39;s in it.
and... which is more, you will be a man, a king, my son.
