## Corrected Transcript / Extracted Text
The Kipling Power is one of my favorites. My father read it to me once. It's to me as a little boy, it summed up what a man should be. 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 meant out to, but make allowances for their doubting to, if you can dream and not make dreams your master, if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposterous, just the same, or watch the things you gave your life for broken, and stoop and build them up with worn out tools. 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 the beginning, never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sin you, to serve your turn long after they are done, and so hold on when there is nothing in you, except the will which says to them, hold on. Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, and which is more, you'll be a man, my son.

Kipling is talking bout being a strong, humble, grounded dude who has faith in himself and has the grace and compassion to support those who have a difference in opinion. As men, we must be the calm in the storm, and have faith in ourselves regardless what others think or say.
✍🏻 Poem ✍🏻
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 impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth 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 wornout tools:
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: ‘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!
