I think I can

If you think you are beaten you are;

If you think you dare not, you don't;

If you want to win but 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 a state of mind.


Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger and faster man,

But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

~"The Victor" by C. W. Longenecker~
