自信并不总能获胜。 ­

但它的确是人类不甘于失败，勇于进取的品质。 ­

谨记，面对错误，你可以采取两种态度：逃避或成长。 ­

­

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(俯下身） and build'em up with worn-out tools; ­

­

If you can make one heap of 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(沉寂心智、精力和体力） ­

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!­
