The state of mind
If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think I dare not, you don’t.
If you would like to win, but you think you can’t,
It’s almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose your lost,
For out in the world you find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will;
It’s all in the state of mind.Full many a race is lost, Ere ever a step is run;
And many a coward fails,
Ere ever his work’s begun.
Think big and your deeds will grow;
Think small and you will fall behind.
Think that you can and you 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’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.John Plumridge
