Answer 2

Answer:

As in the poem “If” by Rudyard Kipling? “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you.”

To “keep your head” means to stay calm, to resist panic, remain able to think clearly. It’s a dramatic expression, with the head representing the mind, the brain, the ability to think. The opposite is, of course, ‘losing your head”, meaning giving way to panic, not able to think clearly or logically.
