If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when everyone doubts you, but make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
If you can think--and make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted or watch the things you gave your life to break, and build them up again;
If you can make one heap of all your winning and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes no loving friends can hurt you;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run--yours is the Earth and everything that's in it. - Rudyard Kipling
"If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere." - Unknown.
