Poem: The Man Who Thinks He Can
(thinking that you can be successful in achieving an objective is a vital mental condition, but thinking that you can not do it is almost a guarantee that you will not be successful as indicated by Walter Wintle)
The Man Who Thinks He Can
If you think you are beaten, you are;
If you think you're outclassed, you are:
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but think you can'tIt's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost,For out in the world we find
Success being with a 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 beforeYou can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always goTo the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who winsIs the one who thinks he can.
