壹個真正男人永遠的座右銘
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!
如果
如果在所有失去理智的人指責妳的時候始終保持理智。
如果在所有人都懷疑妳時始終自信，同時容忍他們對妳的懷疑。
如果妳能等待，並不在等待中疲倦；容忍謊言，但不讓謊言左右妳；認由別人恨妳，卻不讓仇恨得逞。不要讓樣子看上去太美，說話也不要太明智。
如果可以做夢，但不要讓夢境主宰妳。
如果可以思考，但不要讓思考成為妳的目的。
如果妳能面對成功與失敗，對待它們就像對兩個騙子壹樣壹視同仁。
如果妳能忍受自己所說的真相被騙子歪曲成制造陷阱的工具，或是眼看自己畢生心血付諸東流時可以拿起殘破的工具重新來過。
如果妳有孤註壹擲的勇氣，而在失敗時壹聲不吭的重新開始。
如果妳能迫使妳的心臟、精力與勇氣在消失前重新恢復，之所以堅持在絕望，只是妳的意誌在向它們高呼：“堅持！”
如果妳能身為俗人時保持德行，或身入宮廷時還能平易近人。
如果仇敵與摯友都不能傷害到妳。
如果所有人都依靠妳，但沒有人依賴妳。
如果妳可以將壹分鐘的不可寬恕等同於成長跑時的60秒，妳將包容萬物。還有什麽更多的呢？妳將成為壹個男人，我的孩子！
