IF YOU CAN

If U can keep UR Head cool and calm
When all other Heads make U a Villain of peace
If U can trust Urself when others cast their doubt
Yet give them no room to doubt otherwise
If U are patient to wait and not be tired of waiting
Or to being hated without giving any cause to hate.


If U can dream without making dream Ur master
If U can think without becoming a victim to Ur thoughts
If U can treat success and failure as one and the same
If U can bear to hear the truth you better wished not to hear
If U are willing to lose without lamenting Ur loss
If U can hold on to Ur will when there is nothing to hold

If U can mingle with crowd and yet keep Urself aloof
If U can dine with Prince and with Pauper as well
If both Friends and Foes make little impact on U
U then will be a master of all U survey
Having Nothing U yet Hath All.

Up Above The Space So High
Like A Sparkling Carbon In the Sky.

How I wonder What You Are
Up Above The Sky So High
Like A Diamond In The Sky."
