— If…. by Rudyard Kipling
— Comments & analysis: If you can keep your head when all about you / Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
<9e126bf3> great poem. Even mentions hodling
> 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:
> If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
> 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!”
