If you *think* you are beaten, you are,
If you *think* you date 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'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 are 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 faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who *thinks he can* !
