(Inspired by an emotional life story)
If u can keep ur head wen all about u're losing theirs & blaming it on u.
If u can trust ursef wen everyone doubt u, But make allowance 4 dia doubting too;
If u can wait & not be tired by waiting,Or being lied about, dont deal in lies,Or being hated, don't give way 2 hating, & yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream not make dreams ur master;
If you can think - & not make thot ur aim.
If u can meet wit Triumph & Disaster & treat dese 2 impostors just d same;
If u can bear 2 hear d truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves 2 make a trap 4 fools,Or watch d things u gave ur life to, broken & stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If u can make one heap of all ur winnings & risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss & lose, & start again at ur beginnings & never breathe a word about ur loss;
If u can force ur heart & nerve & sinew 2 serve ur turn long afta dey are gone & so hold on wen dia is nothing in u except d Will which says 2 them: 'Hold on!
If u can talk with crowds & keep ur virtue Or walk with Kings - nor lose d common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt u,
If everyone count with u ,but none too much;
If u can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run, urs is the Earth & everything that's in it, & - which is more - you'll be a foreva UNTOUCHABLE
