If....a masterpiece 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!

The rational and the irrational


The irrational is supposed to enjoy a penchant from the heart and not the mind. But then, isn't the heart a hollow muscular organ? How is it supposed to have feelings and intuitions?
Do hell with the answer....I wld still luv to b irrational....I wld still luv to go out alone in the dark nights, in the lonely streets.....I wld still luv to argue with anyone on something i know is unjustifiable....I wld still luv to luv all the beautiful gals in this planet
So, when the rational said that why create another blog.....like just another brick in the wall....the irrational didnt agree, it kept on pushing for a blog. Well, for a moment, i thought aren't most of us just like one of those bricks in the wall???
