If you can ____________________________ your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and ____________________________ it on you;
If you can ____________________________ yourself when all men ____________________________ you,
But ____________________________ for their doubting too: |
|
|
If you can wait and not be __________ by waiting,
Or, being __________ about, don't __________ in lies,
Or being hated don't give __________ to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too __________; |
|
|
If you can __________________---and not make dreams your __________________;
If you can think---and not make thoughts your __________________,
If you can meet with __________________ and __________________
And __________________ those two __________________ just the same. |
|
|
If you can ______________ to hear the truth you've spoken
______________ by ______________ to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And ______________ and build'em up with ______________-out tools; |
|
|
If you can make one ____________________________ of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of ____________________________,
And lose, and start again at your ____________________________,
And never ____________________________ a word about your loss: |
|
|
If you can __________ your heart and nerve and __________
To serve your __________ long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the __________ which says to them: "Hold on!" |
|
|
If you can talk with ________________________ and keep your ________________________,
Or walk with Kings---nor lose the ________________________,
If neither ________________________ nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men ________________________ with you, but none too much |
|
|
If you can fill the ______________________ minute
With sixty seconds' worth of ______________________ run,
Yours is the ______________________ and everything that's in it,
And ---which is more--- you'll be a ______________________, my son! |
