Not even remotely politically correct these days, but Kipling has said some interesting things.<\/p>\n
If\u00e2\u20ac\u201d
\nBY RUDYARD KIPLING<\/p>\n
If you can keep your head when all about you
\n Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
\nIf you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
\n But make allowance for their doubting too;
\nIf you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
\n Or being lied about, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t deal in lies,
\nOr being hated, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t give way to hating,
\n And yet don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t look too good, nor talk too wise:<\/p>\n
If you can dream\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand not make dreams your master;
\n If you can think\u00e2\u20ac\u201dand not make thoughts your aim;
\nIf you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
\n And treat those two impostors just the same;
\nIf you can bear to hear the truth you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve spoken
\n Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
\nOr watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
\n And stoop and build \u00e2\u20ac\u2122em up with worn-out tools:<\/p>\n
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
\n And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
\nAnd lose, and start again at your beginnings
\n And never breathe a word about your loss;
\nIf you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
\n To serve your turn long after they are gone,
\nAnd so hold on when there is nothing in you
\n Except the Will which says to them: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcHold on!\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/p>\n
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
\n Or walk with Kings\u00e2\u20ac\u201dnor lose the common touch,
\nIf neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
\n If all men count with you, but none too much;
\nIf you can fill the unforgiving minute
\n With sixty seconds\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 worth of distance run,
\nYours is the Earth and everything that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s in it,
\n And\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwhich is more\u00e2\u20ac\u201dyou\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be a Man, my son!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
