If You Think

If you think you are beaten you are;

• If you think you dare not, you don't
• If you 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 you'll 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 big to rise,
• You've got 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 man who wins,
• Is the man who thinks he can.
