    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 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!

    R.Kipling

    My best friend gave me the best advice
    He said each day’s a gift and not a given right
    Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
    And try to take the path less traveled by
    That first step you take is the longest stride

    If today was your last day
    And tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
    Would you live each moment like your last?
    Leave old pictures in the past
    Donate every dime you have?
    If today was your last day

    Against the grain should be a way of life
    What’s worth the prize is always worth the fight
    Every second counts ’cause there’s no second try
    So live like you’ll never live it twice
    Don’t take the free ride in your own life

    If today was your last day
    And tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
    Would you live each moment like your last?
    Leave old pictures in the past
    Donate every dime you have?
    Would you call old friends you never see?
    Reminisce old memories
    Would you forgive your enemies?
    Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
    Swear up and down to God above
    That you finally fall in love
    If today was your last day

    If today was your last day
    Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
    You know it’s never too late to shoot for the stars
    Regardless of who you are
    So do whatever it takes
    ‘Cause you can’t rewind a moment in this life
    Let nothin’ stand in your way
    Cause the hands of time are never on your side

    If today was your last day
    And tomorrow was too late
    Could you say goodbye to yesterday?

    Would you live each moment like your last?
    Leave old pictures in the past
    Donate every dime you have?
    Would you call old friends you never see?
    Reminisce old memories
    Would you forgive your enemies?
    Would you find that one you’re dreamin’ of?
    Swear up and down to God above
    That you finally fall in love
    If today was your last day

    “If”

    If I were a swan, I’d be gone.
    If I were a train, I’d be late.
    And if I were a good man, I’d talk with you more often than I do.
    If I were to sleep, I could dream.
    If I were afraid, I could hide.
    If I go insane, please don’t put your wires in my brain.
    If I were the moon, I’d be cool.
    If I were a rule, I would bend.
    If I were a good man, I’d understand the spaces between friends.
    If I were alone, I would cry.
    And if I were with you, I’d be home and dry.
    And if I go insane, will you still let me join in with the game?
    If I were a swan, I’d be gone.
    If I were a train, I’d be late again.
    If I were a good man, I’d talk to you more often than I do.
