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:
如果周围的人失去理智,纷纷责难于你
而你能淡定处之
如果他们对你心存猜忌
你却能自信不改,并原谅他们的猜忌
如果你肯等待时机,不急不躁
或遭人诽谤,却不以牙还牙
或遭人憎恨,却不以怨抱怨
既不装腔作势,亦不花言巧语
