If you think you are beaten,
YES You are;
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
it’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll loose,
You’ve lost
For out in the world you find
Success begins with a fellow’s will
it’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you ‘re outclassed,
You are
You’ve got to think high to rise;
You’ve got to be sure of yourself
before You can ever win the prize,
For many a race is lost
before they ever begin.
Think big and you deeds will grow
Think small and you’ll fall behind
Think that you can and you will
It’s all in the state of mind.
Life’s battles don’t always go
to the strongest or faster man;
But sooner or late the person who wins
is the fellow who thinks he can!
