If you think you are beaten, you will be beaten, as success begins with a person's will and state of mind. If you think you cannot win or succeed, you likely will not, as thinking you can win is important to actually winning in life. While life's battles may not always be won by the strongest or fastest, the person who ends up winning is the one who believes they can win.

3. If you think you are beaten, you are.

4. If you think you dare not, you don't!

5. If you like to win, but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.

6. You think you'll lose, you're lost;

7. For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's will;

8. It's all in the state of mind.

9. If you think you are outclassed, you are,

10. You've got to think high to rise,

11. You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.

12. Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger and faster man,

13. But sooner or later the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.
