🔰IF | Rudyard Kipling | Narrated By Geoff Castellucci

By Rudyard Kipling If and trust yourself When all men doubt you But make allowance for their If you can wait And not be tired by being hated Don't give way to hating 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 imposters 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 Then stoop and build them up with worn out tools If you can make one heap 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 lose the common touch If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you If all men count with you but none If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth of distance run Yours is the earth and everything that's in it You'll be a man, my son
