Have worked on a variation:

If you can keep your salary 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 joked about, don't deal in jokes,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
Yours is the surf and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be Peter Thorne my son!
