If you think you are beaten, you are

If you think that you dare not, you don’t,

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

It is almost certain you won’t.

If you think you will lose, you are lost.

For out in the world you will find

Success begins with a fellow’s will

It’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you are out-classed, 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 battles don’t always go

To a stronger or faster man,

But soon or late the man who wins

Is the fellow who thinks he can.
