迈克尔·杰克逊的墓志铭:如果

芸芸众生，谁不想成功，谁不想令世人瞩目，诗人在诗中展示了成功背后，包含多少辛酸，经历多少磨难，忍受多少痛楚。有道是“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨”。如果我们能正视成功前的种种困难，勇于接受挑战；失败了，何畏惧，重头再来。那样，我们便成为了一个顶天立地之人。

迈克尔·杰克逊的墓志铭就是下面这首诗《如果》，作者是英国诺贝尔文学奖获得者——拉迪亚德．吉卜林。让我们来细细品味一下杰克逊传奇的一生是否如诗所吟。

If — Rudyard Kipling

如果 —— 拉迪亚德·吉卜林

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

如果周围的人毫无理性地向你发难，你仍能镇定自若保持冷静；

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

如果众人对你心存猜忌，你仍能自信如常并认为他们的猜忌情有可原；

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

如果你肯耐心等待不急不躁，

Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,

或遭人诽谤却不以牙还牙，

Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,

或遭人憎恨却不以恶报恶；

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

既不装腔作势，亦不气盛趾高；

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

如果你有梦想，而又不为梦主宰；

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

如果你有神思，而又不走火入魔；

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

如果你坦然面对胜利和灾难，对虚渺的胜负荣辱胸怀旷荡；

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

如果你能忍受有这样的无赖，歪曲你的口吐真言蒙骗笨汉，

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

或看着心血铸就的事业崩溃，仍能忍辱负重脚踏实地重新攀登；
