THE POEM OF HUMAN WISDOM natureza-in-foco.nafoto.net/images/photo20120425145938.jpg If you can keep your head when everyone around you Are losing and blaming it on you, Believe in thee, when everyone doubted, and for these, however, find an excuse. If you can wait and not be tired, or wrong, do not deal in lies, or being hated, you always hate to dodge, and not look too good, nor talk. If you can think - and not only so that you shoot me, to dream - and not make dreams your master. If you can meet triumph and disgrace, manage to treat equally those two impostors. If you can suffer the pain of seeing changed traps in the truths you said, and the things you gave your life to, broken, and redo them with the very little that remains you. If you can risk a one-stop all you have gained throughout your life. And lose, and to lose without ever saying anything, resigned, becoming the starting point. Force your heart and nerve and sinew to give whatever in them still exists. And so hold on when, exhausted, yet left the will in you which says to them: Hold on! If you can, among the plebs, do not corromperes between Kings and not lose the naturalness. And friends, whether good or bad, fend, if all you can be of some use. If you can give, second by second, the fatal minutes every value and shine, Yours is the Earth and everything thats in it And - which is more - youre a Man, my son! Author: Joseph Rudyard Kipling (12/30/1865 - 01/18/1936)
