It's all in the state of mind. If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not, you don't, If you'd like to win, but you think you can't, It's almost a 'cinch' 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. Full many a race is lost E'er even a race is run, And many a coward fails E'er even his work's begun. Think big and your deeds will grow, Think small and you'll fall behind, Think that you can, and you 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 sure of yourself before You ever can win the prize. Life's battle doesn't always go To the stronger of faster man; But sooner or later, the man who wins.... Is the fellow who thinks he can. Walter D.
