If you think that you are beaten, you are
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win but think you can not
It is certain that you won’t
If you think that you will lose, you have lost
For out of the world we find that
Success begins with a fellow’s will
It’s all in the same state of mind
If you think that you are outclassed, you are
You have got to think high to rise
You have got to be sure of yourself
Before you reach the ultimate prize
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man
But sooner or later the man
Is the one who thinks he can
And if you think that you can then you certainly know
how it’s done.
This is such an inspiring, beautiful poem. In today’s society, everyone always wants to either encourage or discourage you to do something based on competition etc, and we forget that when we change our mentality we can rise above society’s “status quo”.
