The Man Who Thinks He Can
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not, you don't,
If you'd like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch that you won't.
If you think you will lose, you lost;
For out in the world we 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 win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the strongest or fastest man;
But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can !
