I think you are talking about the line in the last stanza:
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!
Unforgiving minute suggests a minute in time you will never get back again. It does not "forgive" - meaning, if you mess up, you don't necessarily get a "redo." So here, the speaker advises to fill it with the same endurance and fortitude (and with the same attitude) you've devoted to the rest of the "distance run" - or any other minute. In a way, this is a final word saying, "Don't give up at the last minute. Finish strong!"
