The Man Who Thinks He Can

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not you don’t.

If you like to win, but you think you can’t.

It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’ve 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 are outclassed, you are,

You’ve got to think high to rise,

You’ve got to be sure of yourself before

You can even win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go

To the stronger or faster person,

But soon or late the person who wins

Is the person who thinks they can!
