Here is the Kipling poem:<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t deal in lies, Or being hated don&#8217;t give way to hating, And yet don&#8217;t look too good, nor talk too wise;<\/p>\n<p>If you can dream&#8212;and not make dreams your master; If you can think&#8212;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&#8217;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&#8217;em up with worn-out tools;<\/p>\n<p>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: &#8220;Hold on!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings&#8212;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&#8217; worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that&#8217;s in it, And&#8212;which is more&#8212;you&#8217;ll be a Man, my son!<\/p>\n<p>Rudyard Kipling<\/p>\n<p> ENGR145&#8217;s Anchor Concept: Lemonade and Gua Gua Guacamole<\/p>\n<p>It moves you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve <embed width='425' height='344' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application\/x-shockwave-flash' src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/eudADPfTWiE&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><embed width='425' height='344' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application\/x-shockwave-flash' src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/n5jB310egEI&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><embed width='425' height='344' allowfullscreen='true' allowscriptaccess='always' type='application\/x-shockwave-flash' src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/BMyLcDaWazU&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1\" \/> CEO of Duck9 Founding Stanford University EIR (Entrepreneur in Residence) Emeritus<\/p>\n<p>Duck9 = &#8220;Deep Underground Credit Knowledge&#8221; 9 125 University Avenue\/ 100 Palo Alto CA 94301 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/ass\" >https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/ass<\/a> 650-566-9600 650-566-9696 (direct) 650-283-8008 (cell)<\/p>\n<p>**************** Editor of the BusinessWeek Channel &#8220;What They Don&#8217;t Teach at Business School&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\" >https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog<\/a> CNN Video Channel: <a href=\"https:\/\/ireport.cnn.com\/people\/larrychiang\" >https:\/\/ireport.cnn.com\/people\/larrychiang<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Read my last 10 tweets at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/LarryChiang\" >https:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/LarryChiang<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Author, NY Times Bestseller <a href=\"https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\/?s=Ny+times+bestseller\" >https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog\/?s=Ny+times+bestseller<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What They Will NEVER Teach You at Stanford Business School&#8221; comes out 11-11-14<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/embed\/c0d4562ea2049\" >https:\/\/www.fastcompany.com\/embed\/c0d4562ea2049<\/a><\/p>\n<p>52 Cards.
