How to be a Man...Rudyard Kipling...

If...

You can keep your head
while all about you
are losing theirs and
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,
nor talk to 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;
