QUOTATION: | If you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not, you dont. If youd like to win, but think you cant, Its almost a cinch you wont. If you think youll lose, youre lost, For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellows will; Its all in the state of mind.
If you think youre outclassed, you are; Youve got to think high to rise. Youve got to be sure of yourself before You can ever win a prize. Lifes battles dont always go To the stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins Is the one who thinks he can. |
