If You Are Beaten

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 certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose, you're lost.

For out in the world you find

Success begins with a person's will;

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you're outclassed, you are;

You've got to think high to rise;

You've got to be sure of yourself before

you can ever win the prize.

Think big and your deeds will grow;

Think small and you'll fall behind;

Think that you can and you will.

It's all in the state of mind.

Life's battles don't always go

to the stronger or faster person;

but, sooner or later the person who wins

is the one who thinks they can.

Inside each one of us are the seeds of greatness,

we have the power to make them grow.

Do we want to live a life of mediocrity?
