			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Seems like all the poems I like are made by <a href="http://bluemechaoxide.net/blog/2010/01/20/invictus/">Englishmen</a>. This one was written in 1895 by Rudyard Kipling.</p>
<blockquote><p>
If you can keep your head when all about you<br />
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;<br />
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,<br />
But make allowance for their doubting too;<br />
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,<br />
Or, being lied about, don&#8217;t deal in lies,<br />
Or, being hated, don&#8217;t give way to hating,<br />
And yet don&#8217;t look too good, nor talk too wise;</p>
<p>If you can dream &#8211; and not make dreams your master;<br />
If you can think &#8211; and not make thoughts your aim;<br />
If you can meet with triumph and disaster<br />
And treat those two imposters just the same;<br />
If you can bear to hear the truth you&#8217;ve spoken<br />
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,<br />
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,<br />
And stoop and build &#8216;em up with wornout tools;</p>
<p>If you can make one heap of all your winnings<br />
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,<br />
And lose, and start again at your beginnings<br />
And never breath a word about your loss;<br />
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew<br />
To serve your turn long after they are gone,<br />
And so hold on when there is nothing in you<br />
Except the Will which says to them: &#8220;Hold on&#8221;;</p>
<p>If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<br />
Or walk with kings &#8211; nor lose the common touch;<br />
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;<br />
If all men count with you, but none too much;<br />
If you can fill the unforgiving minute<br />
With sixty seconds&#8217; worth of distance run &#8211;<br />
Yours is the Earth and everything that&#8217;s in it,<br />
And &#8211; which is more &#8211; you&#8217;ll be a Man my son!
</p></blockquote>
