Rudyard Kipling

If

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 wornout 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 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!

NOTE: This last one is another one of mine and it was part of the roll in the past.  It is returning now because I've once again found the light inside to tackle this topic head on.






CPC gets trashed yet again!!

An MP is driving by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage.
Suddenly, the lion grabs the cuff of her jacket sleeve and tries to pull her inside to
slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The MP jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with
a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl,
and the MP brings her back to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the MP, says: “Sir, this was the
most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life. What do you do for a living?”

“I’m a Member of Parliament. It was nothing, really. I just saw this little kid in danger and
did what I felt right.”

“Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s
papers will have this on the first page. What party are you with?”

“The Conservative Party of Canada” says the MP.

The journalist leaves. The following morning, the MP buys the paper to see if it indeed
brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:

HARPER THUG ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH!

National Flag of Canada Day

Why is it that this particular day doesn't get the press it rightly should?? Happy Flag Day everyone!
