من طرف If You Can
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt about you
If you can wait and not to 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 make thoughts your aim
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knives to make a trap for fools
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue
Or neither walks with kings nor loses the common touch
You’ll be man my son.
