Answer:
Confident and Humble
Explanation:
This is an inaugural address, meaning that the speaker, John F. Kennedy, was just elected into office. When Kennedy says, "In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility--I welcome it," it shows that he is confident in his abilities to strengthen the country. This might seem as if he is being egocentric; however, later in the speech, he mentions "our country" and "my fellow Americans" meaning that he has put himself on the same level as the readers/listeners. He makes himself seem equally John F. Kennedy the president and John F. Kennedy the person.

Answer:
In the third stanza, Kipling uses the first line to speak of winning and taking chances, knowing that all men will be tempted at some point to make a foolish decision: "If you can make one heap of all your winnings / and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss ..." The game "pitch-and-toss" is a game of chance, so we know he's speaking of betting all your winnings on a gamble. However, what's important in this stanza is his advice for how a person should behave once you make the mistake of gambling all of your winnings and losing. You should "start again at your beginnings," meaning make a fresh start. You should also "never breathe a word about your loss," meaning never speak of the loss because not complaining about adversity shows strength of character and true humility.
