If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win, but you think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch that you won’t.
******
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;
For out in the world you’ll find
Success begins with a person’s will.
It’s all in the state of mind!
*********
Full many a race is lost
Before even a step is run.
And many coward falls
Before even his work is begun.
********
Think high and your deeds will grow.
Think low and you’ll fall behind.
Think that you can and you will.
It’s all in the state of mind.
********
If you think you’re outclassed, you are.
You have to think high to rise.
You have to be sure of yourself
Before you can win a prize.
*******
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the one who wins,
Is the one who thinks he can!
