"If"-Rudyard Kipling

Translation Version One:
When all the people around you are losing your mind and blaming you,
Are you able to stay calm?
When all the people cast their doubts on you,
Can you believe in yourself and allow them to doubt?
Can you wait and wait tirelessly?
When you are deceived, do not use lies in exchange.
When you are hated, do not respond to hatred.
Don't dress up, don't pretend to be smart.

Can you dream, but not let the dream become the master?
Are you able to think, but you don't think of thinking as a goal?
Whether it is to meet the triumph of success or to experience a complete failure,
Can you be a disgrace or not?
When the truth that you say is twisted by the hooligans and becomes the trap of fools,
Can you endure these false in your ears?
When the cause of your life is ruined,
Can you bend over and rebuild it with worn-out tools?

Can you ignore the past honor and disgrace, let go of a bo?
Even if you suffer from failure, you have to start over again.
Even if they are cynical, they can not care.
Can you face the turning point of life and devote yourself to it all?
Even if you are exhausted, even if nothing,
But there is a faith in the heart shouting: "Stick to it." ”

Are you still able to maintain your virtues when you talk to civilians?
When you walk with the king, can you still be approachable?
Whether the enemy or friends, can not cause you grief and pain?
In the boundless crowd of you, whether you can widely knot popularity but also stay measured?
Can you be in the ruthless years,
Take full advantage of the seconds of life?
If that's true,
You have everything in the world, even more ...
At this time, my child! You are a true brave man.

Translation version two:

If the people around you are irrational to you, you can still keep calm;

If people are suspicious of you, you can still be confident and think their suspicions are justifiable;

If you're willing to wait and not be impatient,

or slander but not a tooth,

or hated but not evil;

Neither airs nor high-toed;

If you have a dream, but not for the Dream master;

If you have synthesis, but do not be possessed;

If you face the victory and disaster calmly, the impostors of the win-lose honor and disgrace bosom;

If you can endure a rogue like this, distort your mouth to deceive fools,

Or look at the hard work of casting the cause of collapse, still can endure the humiliation of the ground to climb again;

If you dare to win all that you have achieved, for a more noble purpose,

Face lose, resolve to start from the beginning and never mention their loss;

If people have already left you, you can still hold on to the position of the pioneers,

The body has nothing, only the will in shouting "withstand";

If you talk to civilians without being humble,

Or walk with kings without a flattering face;

If foe can not cause harm to you;

If the people trust you with a plus but not overly dependent;

If you can cherish the time like gold to use every minute can not be recovered;

Then your cultivation will be as broad as heaven and earth, and have a world of their own,

More importantly: children, you become a true indomitable man!

If------
by Joseph Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head then all on you
Is losing theirs and blaming it on you;
I f you can trust yourself if all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If You can wait and is tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, and don ' t deal in Lies,
Or, being hated, don ' t give away to hating,
And yet don ' t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream---and don't make dreams your master;
If you can think---and don't make thoughts your aim;
I F can meet with Triumph and disaster
And treat those, imposters 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 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;
I F can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they is gone,
And so hold on when there are nothing
Except the'll, which says to them: ' Hold on! '

If you can talk with Crows 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!
