Challenge:
Si puedes hablar a las masas y conservar tu virtud
o caminar junto a reyes, y no distanciarte de los demás. Si ni amigos ni enemigos pueden herirte. Si todos cuentan contigo, pero ninguno demasiado. Si puedes llenar el inexorable minuto, con sesenta segundos que valieron la pena recorrer... | 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, | |
Tuya es la Tierra y todo lo que hay en ella, | Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, | |
y lo que es más: serás un hombre, hijo mío. | And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! |
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!https://www.poetrybyheart.org.uk/poems/if/
