? ? ? 如果
如果你身邊所有人失去理智 并將之歸咎于你
你仍能保持冷靜
如果全天下都懷疑你
你仍能相信自己 并體諒別人的懷疑
如果 你能等待 并且保持耐心
或被人欺騙 卻不去報復
或遭人怨恨 亦不以牙還牙
不去光彩照人 也不去夸夸其談
如果你能夢想 卻不做夢想的奴隸
如果你能思考 卻不是為了思考而思考
如果 面對凱旋與災難
你都可以淡然處之
如果你能忍受自己說出的真理
被無賴歪曲 拿去唬弄無知的人
或看到曾用生命投入的事物 破裂
卻能俯身 用破舊的工具將之縫補
如果你能連連成功
仍敢放手一搏
失敗乍构,然后從頭再來
卻從不言及失敗
如果你能繃緊全身神經(jīng)
恪守使命直到最后一刻
堅持到力氣全無
除了意志 仍在高喊:“挺住”锋玲!
如果你能與人群交談 并牢記自己的品德
或與君王同行 亦不失平民本色
如果所有人對你都重要 又不那么重要
如果敵人或摯友 都無從傷害到你
如果你能分秒必爭
每一刻都過得充實
整個地球 整個世界將屬于你
而更重要的是 我的兒子 你也將長大成人芝硬。

IF
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 you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And---which is more---you'll be a Man, my son!?
