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´ve lost,
For out in the world you´ll find
Success begins with a fellow´s will --
It´s all in the state of mind.

Full many a race is lost
Ere even a race is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere even his work´s begun.
Think big, and your deeds will grow,
Think small and you 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 ever win a prize.
Life´s battle doesn´t always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But sooner or later, the man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he can.
