Wa oi do Rudyad Kilig claic om I mak?

If you can keep your head when all about you

others 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, but dont deal in lies,

Or being hated, dont give way to hating . . .

If you can dreamand not make dreams your master;

If you can thinkand not make thoughts our aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same. . .

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kingsnot lose the common touch. . .

Yours is the Earth and everything thats in it,

Andwhich is moreyoull be a Man, my son!
