Think

  This is one of the most famous success poems of all time.
         Again, the author is not known.
 
        THINK
 
         If you think you are beaten, you are.
         If you think you dare not, you don't.
         If you'd like 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 in the world we find,
         Success begins with a person's will,
         It's all in the state of mind.
 
         If you think you are 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 one who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
