If
A Father’s Advice
       to His Son
Letter to the Son
       by Rudyard Kipling
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
  from 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, nor
 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 Disaster
And treat those two impostors
  just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
  you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap
  for fools,

Or 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 winnings
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 force your heart and
  nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they
  are gone,

And so hold on when there is
 nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them:
 "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and
  keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor loose 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
  minute
With 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!
Words are, of course, the most
powerful drug used by mankind."

              Rudyard Kipling
