If you think you are beaten, you are, <br />If you think you dare not, you don't. <br />If you like to win, but you think you can't, <br />It is almost certain you won't. <br />If you think you'll lose, you're lost, <br />For out in the world we find, <br />Success begins with a fellow's will. <br />It's all in the state of mind. <br />If you think you are outclassed, you are, <br />You've got to think high to rise, <br />You've got to be sure of yourself before <br />You can ever win a prize. <br />Life's battles don't always go <br />To the stronger or faster man. <br />But soon or late the man who wins, <br />Is the man who thinks he can.<br /><br />SWETA LEENA PANDA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-you-think-5/
