迈克尔.杰克逊亲自为自己写的墓志铭，用一段并不算长的文字，表达了对生命的理解和自我人生的总结

以下是迈克尔 杰克逊的墓志铭：

If 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, dont deal in lies,

Or, being hated, dont give away to hating, and yet dont look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dreamand 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 imposters 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 buildem 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 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 crows and keep your virtue, or walk with kingsnor 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, andwhich is moreyou’ll be a Man, my son!

迈克尔 杰克逊的墓志铭译文：

假如—假如你能—在别人不知所措却对你横加指责的时候，保持清醒的头脑；

假如你能—在所有人都怀疑你的时候仍然相信自己，并能体谅别人对你的怀疑；

假如你能等待且又充满耐心， 或者，从不用谎言去应付谎言；

也不用仇恨去回击仇恨， 既不故作正经也不夸夸其谈。

假如你充满梦想—但绝不做梦想的奴仆；

假如你勤于思考—却不把思想当作目标；

假如你能—在遇到胜利和困难时态度同样平静；

假如你能容忍你所说的真理，被无赖用作捕捉愚人的陷阱；

或看着你所献身的事业轰然倒塌，你能屈身拾起残破的工具把它们重建。

假如你能—把所有赢来的筹码 都押在一把赌注上；

输光后仍能重新再来， 且对输赢只字不提。

假如你能—在运气不佳身心俱疲之时， 仍能全力以赴抓住机遇，

在一无所有只剩意志支撑的时刻， 咬牙坚持到底。

假如你能—与三教九流为伍而独善其身， 与王公贵族同行而不忘本色；

假如无论是敌是友不能伤害到你； 假如所有的人对你来说同等重要；

假如你能把每一分宝贵的光阴化作六十秒的奋斗—

你就拥有了整个世界， 最重要的是—你就成了一个真正的人，我的孩子！
