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're lost
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellow'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 man,
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who THINKS he can.
