The Man who Thinks He Can - Walter D Wintle

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's almost a cinch that you won't.
If you think you'll lose, your 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.

~Walter D Wintle
