IF

by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your

___________________ when all about
you

Choose the correct word:

Are losing theirs and blaming it on

you,

If you can sing/dream - and

If you can trust

__________________________ when all
men doubt you,
But make allowance for their
____________________________ too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in
____________________________,
Or being hated, don't give way to
hating,
And yet don't look too
_______________________,
nor talk
too
Put these lines in the correct
order:
wise:

not make songs/dreams your

master,
If you can think/talk - and not
make thoughts/speech your
aim;
If you can meet with
Triumph/trickery and
Disaster/disease
And treat these/those two

And risk it all on one turn of

pitch-and-toss,

impostors both the same;

And so hold on when there is

nothing in you

If you can bear/hear to

If you can force your heart

and nerve and sinew
To serve their turn long after
they are gone,
And lose, and start again at
your beginnings

hear/bear the truth you've

spoken
Twisted by knaves/knives to
make a trap for fools,

And never breath one word

about your loss;

and see the thing you

Except the Will that says to

man: "Hold on!"

gave/save your life to, broken,

If you can make one heap of all

your winnings

And stoop/stand and build it

up with worn-out tools:

Answers:

'if' by rudyard kipling

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,
And 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, or speak 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 both the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
and see the thing you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build it up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath one word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve their turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will that says to man: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
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!
