This is from the 2017 letter and I thought it is prudent for what we are going through at the moment:
“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs . . . If you can wait and not be tired by waiting . . . If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim . . . If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you… Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.”
Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas

“If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs . . . If you can wait and not be tired by waiting . . . If you can think – and not make thoughts your aim . . . If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you… Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.”
That’s from Rudyard Kipling’s great poem If, closing “And–which is more–you’ll be a man, my son”. Kinda like the “big boy pants” that EdmundMuskie was talking about earlier.
My namesake, and my goal…
