“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
Its almost a cinch you won’t;
If you think you’ll lose, you are lost
For out in this world we find
Success begins with a fellow’s will
Its all in his state of mind;
Full many a race is lost
Before even a step is run
And many a coward falls
Before even his work has begun;
Think big and your deeds will glow
Think small and you’ll fall behind
Think that you can, and you will –
Its all in the state of mind;
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.”
