If you think you are beaten, you are.

This is a poem about the state of the mind. It is CRUCIAL to put your beliefs in check, for they will manifest the reality of your life. 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 is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost. For out of the world we find Success begins with a fellows' 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.
