IF..... ( The poem was there in our 10th Std - ICSE Syllabus)
If U can Dream and not make Dreams your Master;
If U can Think and not make thoughts your aim;
If U can keep your head,When all about you are losing theirs and blaming it onyou;
If U can trust yourself when all men doubt ,But make allowance for their doubting too;
If U can meet the two - imposed triumph and failurejust the same,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 U can talk to crowds and keep ur virtue,Or, walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt U;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If U can wait and not be tired of waiting;
If U can fill the unforgiving minuteWith sixty seconds' worth of distance run -Yours is the Earth and Everthing THAT'S In It, And - Which is more - YOU'LL BE A MAN, my Son!
- Rudyard Kipling.
