Perceptions and Actions

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 fellow's will
It is all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can even win the prize

Life's battle does not always go
To be stronger or faster man,
For sooner or later the man who will win,
Is the man who thinks he can!
