It’s All How You Think

The below was written by an unknown author.

"If you think you are beaten, you are;If you think you dare not, you don't;If you'd like to win, but you 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 fellow's will It's all in the state of mind."Full many a race is lostEre even a race is run,And many a coward failsEre even his work's begun.Think big, and your deeds will grow,Think small and you fall behind,Think that you can, and you 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 battle doesn't always goTo the stronger or faster man;But sooner or later, the man who winsIs the fellow who thinks he can."--Anon
