If
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 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 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 all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath 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 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!
Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)
this is one poem that i really like,
and truly left an impression after i read it.
i just suppose that, this poem was appropriate
quote in this occasion.and well, i guess,
it acts like chamomile tea on me?
ok, nvm, u know im weirdto everyone who comes across this,
be it clarity, new perspective, or pick-me-up;
i hope it's something worth smiling(serenely?) for.
3 more mths.
let's do this.
*
if i can dream, and not make dreams my master:
i shall aim and work towards a higher GPA
*
start again at my beginnings and never
breathe a word about my loss:
i shall look to a new chapter/acheivements,
instead of back at my failures(no life, just mug)
*
HOLD ON.
and of course.
there's more to this,
yet all i can do is sigh.
helplessness never went down well with me.
enjoy the hols peeps,
take care and refresh:D
