The Man Who Thinks He Can

The man who thinks he can

By Walter D. Wintle

If you think you are beaten, you are,If you think you dare not, you don’tIf you like to win, but think you can’t,It is almost certain you won’t.If you think you’ll lose, you’re lostFor out of the world we find,Success begins with a fellow’s willIt’s all in the state of mind.If you think you are out classed, you are,You’ve got to think high to rise,You’ve got to be sure of yourself beforeYou can ever win a prize.Life’s battles don’t always goTo the stronger or faster man,But soon or late the man who winsIs the man who thinks he can.
