About me:
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 impostors 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 all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath 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!
-- Rudyard Kipling.
No problem Ray. I hope you enjoy the newspaper, and will take time to read the Prisoner blog articles here from time to time. There's plenty to read, you won't regeret it I can assure you.
Thanks, Ray. That's great. Do you have the DVD "Produced by Horn" by accident? If yes, is there only the performance of t.A.T.u.'s "All the things she said" included or also a backstage interview? Thank you so much and enjoy your weekend.
Thank you for your friendship Ray. Please feel free to drop by often and leave a comment. Great News! The results are in for this year’s Progressive Rock Hall Of Fame winners. You can view the results at the link below:
