”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,
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:
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 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 you 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;
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!”
If you can talk with crowds 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!
If you can finish Berserker…
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
I like the text hard to be like that though!
Yes… Back to the old days where poems ruled the world…
Is it just me or a lot of guest as quit your boat (or wagon if you prefer)?
They can rule the world just need a carismatic dude to tell them!
Not much to say really, I prefer the posts where MM would post something, then SNK would come along and argue and then MM would argue and blah blah blah…Fun times.
I wouldnt. I love this one.

Maybe this will work:
BigbossSNK: Solipsism is the only rational philosophy and I dare you to prove it wrong.
Must… resist… baiting…

Too many orders to be a man. No man in earth then.
Lol, I had to memorize thispoem in 7th grade for an English project. Eh, good old times. Good luck on your current and upcoming projects!
Greatestness in people such as I am the most of, requires no dreaming.
