Poem: If
Author: 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 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 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!

拉迪亚德•吉卜林简介

拉迪亚德•吉卜林是十九世纪末英国诗人，曾旅居印度，游历美国、南非、加拿大等国家，于1907年获得诺贝尔文学奖。他的诗仿佛在不经意中完成，却往往产生巨大反响。

《如果》是一首励志诗，曾被译成27国语言，许多人常以此勉励自己，激发前进动力。诗人在诗中展示了成功背后，包含多少辛酸，经历多少磨难，忍受多少痛楚。有道是“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨”。如果我们能正视成功前的种种困难，勇于接受挑战；失败了，何畏惧，重头再来。那样，我们便成为了一个坚强的人。（摘自网络）
