Whether You Think You Can Or You Can't... You're Probably Right.

Date: 4/16/2007

If you think you're beaten, you are;

If you think that you dare not, you don't;

If you'd like to win, but think you can't.

It's almost certain you won't.



If you think you'll lose, you've lost;

For out in the world you'll 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.
