ThinkingA

Walter D. Wintle, 1905

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's almost a"cinch"you won't.If you think you'll lose, you've lost,For out in the world you find Success begins witha fellow's 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 a prize. Life's battles don't always go To the stronger or faster man,But sooner or later, the man who wins,Is the fellow who thinks he can.
