It’s All in The State of Mind

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

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

For many a game is lost
Even before a play is run
And many a coward fails
Even before his work is begun.

Think big and your deeds will grow,
Think small and you'll fall behind;
Think that you can and you will,
It's all a state of mind.

If you think you are out-classed, 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 man,
But sooner or later the man who wins Is the fellow who thinks he can.

Walter D. Wintles
