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, nor talk too wise;
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue/ˈvɜːrtʃuː/,
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 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!

Poem appreciation
如果
如果周围的人毫无理性地向你发难,
你仍能镇定自若保持冷静;
如果众人对你心存猜忌
你仍能自信如常并认为他们的猜忌情有可原;
如果你肯耐心等待不急不躁,
或遭人诽谤却不以牙还牙,
或遭人憎恨却不以恶报恶,
既不装腔作势,亦不气盛趾高;
如果你跟平民交谈而不变谦虚之态,
抑或与王侯散步而不漏谄媚之颜;
如果敌友都无法对你造成伤害;
如果众人对你信赖有加却不过分依赖;
如果你能惜时如金利用每一分钟不可追回的光阴;
那么,你的修为就会如天地般博大,
并拥有了属于自己的世界,
更重要的是:孩子,你成了真正顶天立地之人!
