real or fake or combo or trompe l'oeil - 

look

IF 
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 trust 
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 all 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!

happy new year my friends
peace, love, health & happiness
