If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you won’t.
If you like to win, but don’t think you can, it’s almost a cinch, you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you are lost: for out in the world you’ll find success begins with a fellow’s will.
It’s all in state of mind.
For many a game is lost before even a play is run, and many a coward fails before even his work is begun.
Think big and deed will grow,
Think small and you’ll fall behind,
Think that you can and you will.
It’s all in state of mind.
If you think you are out-classed, you are.
You’re 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 late, the man who wins is the fellow who thinks he can.
Walter B Wintle
