“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,” 


You’ll be successful in this life

If you don’t let anything

Get in your head

There’s no way for someone to hurt you

 and you win


If you can keep calm

In this chaotic life of ours

You’ll be in a much better place

To make decisions than the majority


I would say I am pretty good 

Being calm in stressful situations

Because I know that eventually

It’ll pass


There’s a great quote

I learned from Tom Hanks:

“It too shall pass”

Ever since I heard it

I have lived by that quote


There’s no reason to worry about tomorrow 

When today already has enough problems

The poem "IF" inspired me to write this poem and I included a few lines of that poem at the very beginning
