Explanation:

1)phrase. If you keep your head, you remain calm in a difficult situation. If you lose your head, you panic or do not remain calm in a difficult situation. She was able to keep her head and not panic.
2)The line, “If you can dream – and not make dreams your master” is a very important principle for having balance. Meaning, dreams should not be your only aspirations, goals, or thoughts. At the start of this line, the narrator praises dreams and longings, but warns against becoming blinded with those wants.
3)By "triumph," the poet means moments of success and accomplishment in life, while by "disaster," he implies the time of failure or loss. It's human nature to celebrate and jubilate at time of success and victory. In a similar way, disaster brings in frustration and despair.
4)Truth corresponds with reality and one can twist the truth to fit one’s theories or ideas about reality or beliefs. We must be willing to go where the truth leads as in a jury without prejudice or we will never get there. Truth or the facts of a case at hand can be twisted by prejudice or bias towards any worldview and in closing one’s mind to the conclusion.
If you rule out an option from the get-go, you’re already biasing the conclusion. For instance, if you rule out the very possibility of the supernatural or the metaphysical, you may become blind to the truth and never see the light.
5)If you believe anything can and will be automated with artificial intelligence (AI), then you might not be surprised to know how many notable media organizations including The New York Times, Associated Press, Reuters, Washington Post, and Yahoo! Sports already use AI to generate content. The Press Association, for example, can now produce 30,000 local news stories a month using AI. You might think that these are formulaic who, what, where and when stories and you are right, some of them certainly are. But, today, AI-written content has expanded beyond formulaic writing to more creative writing endeavors such as poetry and novels.
6)In Rudyard Kipling's piece of didactic poetry “If,” he is speaking to his only son, John. In the poem, he addresses his son as “you,” while he provides instruction on becoming a man of virtue. He teaches his son how to act in a variety of situations, and how to treat people from all walks of life.
