You Can If you think you are beaten, you are If you think you dare not, you don’t If you like to win, but 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 we find Success begins with a person’s will’ It’s all in the state of mind. For many a race is lost Ere even a step is run, And many a coward fails, Ere even their work is begun. Think big and your deed’s will grow. Think small and you’ll fall behind. Think that you can and you 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 win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster person But sooner or later the person who wins Is the person who thinks they can. Unknown
