THINKING

If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you’d like to win but think you can’t, it’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost;
For out in the world we find success begins with a person’s will –
It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are;
We’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go to the stronger or faster person;
But sooner or later the one who wins,
Is the one who thinks he/she can!
