w Why does the poet call the minute 'unforgiving'?​

Answer 1

1. 'Keep your head' means you remain calm in a difficult situation.
2. I think the speaker means that dreams often take people away from the moment and the practical things of life. People forget who they are and what is important in the present.
3. Triumph and disaster are impostors because they are passing moments. People become too happy at the time of success and may reduce their chance to reach higher goal and at the bad timing they may lose their faith and confidence.
4. It is important to hold on to one's will as a crucial tool in dealing with life's difficulties. According to the speaker, the Will compels the body to keep going, no matter how tired or devastated the body is. If the Will rules, the person will persist through obstacles.
5. Unforgiving minute" refers to the fact that every single minute is 60 seconds long-no more, and no less. So when that minute is up, it is gone, forever.
