Ako mozeš ostati miran kad na tvom putu
Svi izgube glavu i prstom pokazuju na tebe,
Ako sačuvaš poverenje kad svi ostali sumnjaju,
Ali ako im ne zameriš što nemaju poverenja;
Ako ti čekanje ne predstavlja mnogo muke;
Ako ne lažeš kad čuješ laži,
Ili ako ne mrziš kad tebe mrze;
Ako se ne pravis suviše dobar, niti govoris suviše mudro;
Ako snivaš ali ti snovi nisu sve;
Ako misliš ali ti misli uvek ostaju čiste;
Ako znaš da primiš pobedu i poraz,
Da primiš jednako i jedno i drugo;
Ako mozeš podneti da tvoju istinu
Varalice iskrivljuju da bi lakse prevarili budale;
Ako vidiš kako u komadiće razbijaju tvoj cilj
I ako se sagneš da podigneš i pokupiš ostatke.
Ako mozeš sakupiti sva tvoja dobra
I staviti ih na kocku, sve odjednom,
Ako si spreman da ponovo kreneš, kao na početku,
Ne prošaptavši ni reči, izgubivši sve uz osmeh;
Ako prisiliš svoje srce, svoje živce, svoje mišiće
Da sluze tvojim ciljevima i kad su malaksali,
I aku ustraješ kada sve zaostane,
Izuzev volje koja naređuje: "Drzi se dobro"
Ako se usred gomile ne ponosiš,
I ne smatraš se herojem, ako se druziš sa kraljevima;
Ako te ni prijatelj ni neprijatelj ne mogu pokvariti;
Ako svaki čovek za tebe nesto znaci, ali ni jedan suviše;
Ako umeš dobro ispuniti svaku minutu svog života,
I svakog trenutka ideš pravim putem;
Tvoja će biti zemlja i sve njeno blago,
Jer, bićeš čovek, sine moj.

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!
