IF
If you can keep your head when 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 or talk too 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 DisasterAnd treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the words you've spokenTwisted by knaves to make a trap for foolsOr watch the things you gave your life to, broken,And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winningsAnd risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,And lose, and start again at your beginningsAnd never breathe a word about your loss;If you can force your heart and nerve and sinewTo serve your turn long after they are gone,And so hold on when there is nothing in you;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,Or walk with Kings--nor lose the common touch,If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,If all men count with you, but none too much;If you can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds worth of distance run,Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,And--which is more--you'll be a man, my son!
-Rudyard Kipling
It is almost a 100 years now that Rudyard Kipling had penned this poem. It is still the same and it has worked wonders for me & I believe it will for you too. It is my heartfelt opinion that every individual on earth must read this poem atleast once..... and if you can read it before you start your day ,............. !!!!
Have a Gr8 day and superb life ahead.... BE a Winner always !!!!
