State of Mind

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 you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost;
For out in the world we find
success begins with a fellow's will;
It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are;
you've got to think high to rise,
you've got to be sire of yourself
before you can win the prize.

Life's battles don't always go
to the stronger or faster man;
but sooner ot later the man who wins
is the man who thinks he can.
