“Do you want to succeed?”

If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare 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’ve lost,
For out in the world we find,
Success begins with a Persons 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 The prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later the person
who wins Is the person
WHO THINKS THEY CAN!
