Think


If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win, but you think you can't
It's almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost
For out of this world we find;
Success begins with a person's will.
It's all in the state of mind.


If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You'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 person who wins
Is the person who believes they can.
