[e 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’re 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’re 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 the faster man ; 
But soon or late the man who wins, 
Is the one who thinks he can,
