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.

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.
