[00:09.08] If you can keep your head when all about you

[00:13.09] Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

[00:19.36] If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

[00:25.40] But make allowance for their doubting too;

[00:29.90] If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

[00:36.43] Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

[00:42.70] Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

[00:47.97] And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

[00:53.99] If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

[01:01.26] If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

[01:06.79] If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

[01:12.54] And treat those two impostors just the same;

[01:17.30] If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

[01:22.07] Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

[01:26.58] Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

[01:32.10] And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

[01:38.36] If you can make one heap of all your winnings

[01:43.87] And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

[01:48.40] And lose, and start again at your beginnings

[01:53.41] And never breathe a word about your loss;

[01:57.93] If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

[02:03.47] To serve your turn long after they are gone,

[02:08.23] And so hold on when there is nothing in you

[02:13.51] Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

[02:19.02] If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

[02:24.03] Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

[02:30.31] If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

[02:35.07] If all men count with you, but none too much;

[02:40.58] If you can fill the unforgiving minute

[02:45.09] With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

[02:49.85] Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

[02:55.62] And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
